Mexican Quinoa Salad

Ingredients:
3/4 Cup Quinoa
1 1/2 Cups water or Vegetable Broth
Dash of garlic powder and cumin
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup frozen sweet white corn or 1 15 oz can corn
1 15 oz. can black beans, rinsed and drained
Handful of chopped cilantro
Toppings: salsa, avocado

Thanks Sara for finding this recipe!

Here are her alterations:
Instead of garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper (which probably would have been fine) we just added regular taco seasoning.  I also didn't have frozen corn, but did have a can of Mexicorn so I used it instead.  And instead of eating it as a salad we decided to make tacos.  So we topped it with lettuce, chopped tomatoes, cilantro, and guacamole.  It was yummy!

  1. We just wrapped it all in a tortilla and ate it like a burrito or taco.
