Chipotle inspired Quinoa

Here's one more awesome quinoa recipe! Then I'll cool off the quinoa. For a little :) This one was inspired by Chipotle. I love Chipotle bowls and wanted to create a healthier, lower calorie version. This I swear tastes just as good as the real thing!

 

What you need:

Qunioa (1 cup qunioa to 2 cups water, simmer in a pot until all the water is absorbed)

Red kidney beans (drain beans from a can and rinse with water. They can also be sauteed with olive oil and red and green peppers)

Guacomole

Parmesean cheese

 

Preparation:

Cook quinoa (20 minutes)

Cook kidney beans (and sauteed vegetables)

Prepare your bowl- add quinoa base, top with beans/vegetables, add parmesean cheese (it will melt on top!)

Dallop of guacomole

 

One of my favorite things about Chipotle is the Chipotle Tabasco sauce. I haven't been able to find it at any grocery stores yet, so I definitely need to buy a bottle (or two) straight from the Tabasco source!

 

 

 

 

 

Have a great weekend!
