Whining, Wine-ing & Winning

I use this savory quinoa in my carne asada burrito bowls.

Ingredients

☐ 1 cup multi-colored quinoa (rinsed)

☐ 2 cups beef broth

☐ Big pinch of salt

☐ 1/2 tsp cumin

☐ 1/2 tsp Mexican chili powder

☐ 1/2 tsp onion powder

☐ 1/2 tsp garlic powder

☐ Olive oil (for finishing)

Directions

☐ Rinse quinoa in a fine-mesh strainer under cold water to take away the bitterness.

☐ Bring beef broth to a boil in a medium saucepan

☐ Add quinoa, salt, cumin, chili powder, onion powder, and garlic powder

☐ Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes (until liquid is absorbed)

☐ Remove from heat and keep covered

☐ Let sit for 15 minutes

☐ Fluff with a fork and drizzle with olive oil

That’s it.

Nothing fancy. It just works.

It soaks up flavor, holds everything together, and makes it look like you didn’t just throw a bunch of shit in a bowl and hope for the best.
