Mexican Quinoa
I don’t know about you, but I love quinoa. I don’t cook it as often as I should. So when I saw this recipe, I was very excited that it had quinoa in it-plus I love the addition of Mexican flavors!
The dish isn’t too time consuming to make, which is why I really liked it. Perfect for those long days at work, and we had leftovers the next day (pretty much everything I make HAS to have leftovers!). We loved the flavors of this dish and highly recommend serving with sour cream, cheese and avocado. So yummy!
