Mexican Quinoa

Well, you know me.

I'm known world-wide for my food photography.

So it's no wonder you're reading this post right now, having been drawn in

by my magazine-like photo above.

But really, this is one delicious little recipe.

And it's so hippy-like.

Which feeds my soul, man.

Peace out.

I got this gem from my sister's neighbor.

She's in our commune.

I'm just kidding!

I mean, about the commune.  

I really did get this recipe from her though.

Let's move on to the recipe, shall we?

(My tweaked version, btw.)

1 cup Quinoa

2 cups water

1 can black beans, rinsed well!

1/2 chopped red bell pepper

1 chopped jalapeno (ole'!)

1/4 cup chopped cilantro

1 tbls. olive oil

Juice of one lime

1 tsp. taco seasoning

salt & peppa!

Soak quinoa overnight with one teaspoon lime or lemon juice, then rinse.

1.  Boil water, cook quinoa for 20 minutes (or use rice-cooker).

2.  Let it cool just a bit in a big bowl.

3.  Mix everything else together.

4.  Serve it up for your people!

ENJOY!

I was very doubtful about this as I served it to my childrens...

but they LOVED IT.

They loved it SO MUCH!

I think your crowd will too.

Oh, and it's super healthy.

Score!!!
