JENNY.. requested this recipe ..........CHILLI CHICKEN QUINOA WRAPS ....

Spinach wraps ........ ( I purchased these at Safeway Churchill )

JUST A HINT ......Warm a pan  and spray with a cooking oil and just warm the wraps through ...even if they are not being eaten immediately.

Place  one cup of quinoa  ( we use red quinoa  ,, found in the health food section Safeway ) in a rice steamer with 2 cups of water . Push the cook button .

Now thinly slice a chicken fillet  ( Dale`s preference  ) / chicken thigh  ( Noelene`s preference  ).
Set aside
In a pan add a good glug of  thinly sliced ( 2)  fat garlic cloves  and ( 2) red onions and 1 red bullet chilli  with seeds . ( the little one )_until aromatic and  soft .
Now finely chop a bunch of flat leafed parsley and add to the cooking quinoa.
It is now time to add the chicken slices to the onion , garlic mix in the pan.
Cook turning all the time on a medium flame .
About 12- 15  minutes should see it done .
Turn out into a bowl and mix in quinoa with chicken mix.
Lay the wraps open .
Spoon the chicken mix  across the circle at the bottom end leaving a lip .
Then fold the lip over and fold in sides and roll .
Wrap in baking paper .
Secure a fresh sprig of rosemary  with a small elastic band.
