Ingredients

  • 1 cup chopped onion

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • ¾ teaspoon salt

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 cup pearled farro, rinsed and drained

  • 1 15 ounce can black beans, rinsed and drained

  • ¾ cup chopped red sweet pepper

  • 3 cup vegetable broth

  • 1 tablespoon ground coriander

  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin

  • 1 cup baby spinach

  • 2 cup chopped tomato

  • 1 large ripe avocado, halved, peeled, seeded, and diced

  • 2 green onions, sliced

  • ¼ cup snipped fresh cilantro

  • 2 teaspoon lime zest

  • 1 tablespoon lime juice

  • 8 10-inch flour tortillas, warmed

  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese (4 ounces)

Directions

Fast 10 minute cook time

  1. In a 4- to 6-qt. multifunction electric or stove-top pressure cooker cook onion, garlic, and 1/4 tsp. of the salt in hot oil over medium heat until tender. (For electric pressure cookers, use the sauté setting to cook; for stove top models, cook directly in the pot.) Add farro, beans, red pepper, broth, coriander, and cumin. Set electric cooker on high pressure to cook 10 minutes. For stove-top cooker, bring up pressure over medium-high heat; reduce heat enough to maintain steady (but not excessive) pressure. Cook 10 minutes. Remove from heat. Let stand 15 minutes to release pressure naturally. Release any remaining pressure. Open lid carefully.

  2. Drain, if necessary. Stir spinach into farro mixture. For the Tomato-Avocado Salsa, in a small bowl combine tomato, avocado, green onions, cilantro, lime zest and juice, and remaining 1/2 tsp. salt. Divide filling among warmed tortillas. Top with cheese and salsa. Fold bottom edge of each tortilla up and over filling; fold in opposite sides just until they meet. Roll up from the bottom.
