To make this dish, you will need the following ingredients:

- 1 head of cabbage
- 1 cup of cooked quinoa
- 1 can of black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- 1 teaspoon of cumin
- 1 teaspoon of paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 can of tomato sauce

To begin, preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Remove the core from the cabbage and carefully separate the leaves. In a large pot of boiling water, blanch the cabbage leaves for 2-3 minutes, or until they are soft and pliable. Drain the leaves and set them aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté until they are soft and translucent. Add the cooked quinoa, black beans, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper to the skillet and stir to combine.
To assemble the cabbage rolls, place a spoonful of the quinoa and bean mixture onto each cabbage leaf. Roll the leaf tightly around the filling, tucking in the sides as you go. Place the cabbage rolls seam-side down in a baking dish.
Pour the tomato sauce over the cabbage rolls, making sure to cover them completely. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender and the filling is heated through.
