Mexican Style Quinoa


I don't really know what to call this so I am just calling it Mexican Style Quinoa. haha 

Ingredients 
1 cup quinoa 
Cumin 
Chili powder
Onion powder
Garlic powder
1lb Ground Turkey
1/2 of a large Bell Pepper 
2 cups water 
1 small onion
1/2 tsp salt 
Shredded cheddar cheese 
sour cream

Quinoa Instructions
1. Wash 1 cup of quinoa 
2. Pour 2 cup of water in pot with quinoa 
3. bring to a boil and simmer for about ten minutes when all the water has cooked out. 
4. Add 1/8 tsp of chili powder, onion powder, and garlic powder and 1/4 tsp of cumin to the cooked quinoa
5. set aside 

Meat Mixture Instructions 
1. Add lb of ground turkey to a large pan
2. Chop up onion and bell pepper and add to pan 
3. Add 1/2 tsp of salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and chili powder and 1 tsp of cumin 
3. Cook until meat is done

*You can either mix the quinoa in with the meat mixture or you can just put the meat mixture over the quinoa. Sprinkle cheddar cheese on top with a dollop of sour cream. 

I mixed all mine together and it was quite amazing! Even with the small amount of sour cream and cheese it made it a little creamy. Yummm! Turkey sausage would be really good in this too. You don't have to use a lb you could just add some to the ground turkey.
