One Skillet Mexican Quinoa- an easy one-pot meal that’s perfect for busy weeknights. Each serving has 17 grams of protein! (vegan + gluten-free)
Quinoa was actually one of the first things I learned to cook when I realized that eating frozen pizza and faux chicken nuggets probably wasn’t the best way to approach a vegetarian diet.
I was blown away that this tiny little grain (technically seed) could provide so many important nutrients like iron, fiber, magnesium, B-vitamins, AND all of the essential amino acids. From there I made a goal to eat it at least once a week. This Mexican Quinoa Skillet is one of my favorite ways to eat it because it’s SO EASY to make and there is usually guacamole and chips involved on the side.
