Mexican Quinoa, Everything-free

 
I love Mexican food! I always joke that I could turn anything into a Mexican dish. And like almost everything else I make, I make Mexican food different every single time. Beans, corn, peppers, onions, salsa, avocado, chick peas, cucumbers, spinach, chicken, steak, cheese (regular or dairy-free), sour cream (regular or dairy-free). Mix and Match those ingredients and you have a Dani Mexican Meal. 

Tonight I am making a Mexican Quinoa. I make half the dish in the Rice Cooker.

In the Rice Cooker:
1 cup qunioa
2 cups water
1 can black beans
1 tbsp olive oil
Squeeze 1/2 a lime
salt

Once done, pour into a big bowl. Add your favorite Mexican ingredients. Tonight I am adding:
Diced chicken (leftover from last nights Slow Cooker Chicken Tacos)
Spinach
Salsa (use a fresh one, pico de gallo style)
Diced cucumber
Shredded Mexican Cheese (add after quinoa cools off)
And top your dish with a spoonful of sour cream

Enjoy!
