Quinoa Tacos

Super Easy Quinoa Taco "Meat"

Ingredients

1 cup dry red quinoa (cook in 2 cups of water- takes about 15 minutes)

1 1/2 cups tomato sauce

1 1/2 tsp taco seasoning (I use Trader Joe's Taco Seasoning packet)

1 can pinto beans (opt- but makes your tacos even more filling)

Opt. Nutritional Yeast (add a couple tablespoons)

Yield= 5-6 cups

Directions

1. Cook the quinoa. 

2. Add tomato sauce, taco seasonings, and pinto beans. Heat through. 

3. Immediately spoon into taco shells, or refrigerate for a quick dinner or lunch.

Instead of putting lettuce and tomatoes in the tacos, we just add guacamole (we combine mashed avocado and our favorite salsa) on top of the meat.
