INGREDIENTS

• 1 large head of cabbage
• 1 cup cooked quinoa
• 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 red bell pepper, diced
• 1/2 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
• 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin

• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

• Juice of 1 lime
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

For Garnish (Optional):

• Avocado slices
• Fresh lime wedges

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
2. Remove any tough or damaged outer leaves from the cabbage, then carefully cut the cabbage into 4 wedges, keeping the core intact to hold the leaves together.
3. In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, black beans, diced red bell pepper, corn kernels, chopped cilantro, ground cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper, lime juice, and olive oil. Mix everything together until well combined.
4. Place a generous spoonful of the quinoa mixture onto each cabbage wedge, spreading it evenly along the center of the wedge.
5. Carefully roll each cabbage wedge around the filling, securing with toothpicks if needed to hold them together.
6. Brush the outside of the cabbage rolls with a little more olive oil to prevent sticking on the grill.
7. Place the cabbage rolls on the preheated grill and cook for about 8-10 minutes per side, or until the cabbage is tender and slightly charred.
8. Remove the cabbage rolls from the grill and let them cool slightly before serving.
9. Garnish with avocado slices, fresh lime wedges, and a dollop of vegan sour cream or yogurt, if desired.
10. Serve these delicious grilled cabbage rolls as a flavorful and nutritious meal. Enjoy!
