I am not sure exactly what it is, but for the longest time I kept seeing recipes on Pinterest that included quinoa and I kept hearing foodies talk about how wonderful it tasted and what a healthy option it was. I, personally, did not even know what it looked like, much less how to say it. I still don’t know how to say it and I am sure that every time I say the word that I say it wrong because when I do say it, people that know how to say it look at me funny until I spell it. Well, with all of the hub bub about this quinoa I decided to grab a bag, that looks like it will last a lifetime, and make something with it. I will be honest, I did not even know where to start. I had people tell me to simply add to it chicken broth and boil it. To me that sounded boring, so I researched on Pinterest and learned that you should pretty much boil it in chicken broth but add whatever else you want to the dish to liven it up. I decided to keep it simple and make One Pot Quinoa Tacos.

I kept this recipe simple, so simple that you only need a few ingredients; hamburger meat or turkey, chicken broth, onion, red peppers, green peppers, pinto beans and quinoa. You can also add corn and yellow peppers. The more color the better.

I call this dish a ‘One Pot’ dish but really it’s a 2 Pot dish.

After I tasted my One Pot Quinoa Tacos I determined that quinoa tastes like…. nothing. I could only taste the amazing flavors of the combined meat and peppers. The quinoa was tasteless, so thankfully I liked it because I still have a huge bag of it to use.
