I'm Mexican and I have recently gone vegetarian. I had to explore ways to "spice" things up!

STEPS
INGREDIENTS
I use adobo in place of salt so you can use either. Cayenne pepper is optional.
Almonds (you will only need about 10)
1 celery stick, 1/2 c. Onion, 3 baby carrots (if you love carrots like me, add up to ten baby carrots), 1 pepper (optional)
1 cup of Quinoa
2 cups of water, I like to add a dash more for more fluff to my quinoa
Place on medium heat, move around after 5 minutes
After 15 minutes quinoa will begin to boil
1/2 tsp of adobo or salt
Add adobo and mix
After 20 minutes of cooking quinoa it will be fluffy and ready for the veggies mix it's way in.
Chop carrots
Chop celery
Chop 10 almonds
Mmmmmm I did say I was Mexican right?
Chop pepper
Sautéed veggies with a dash of sazon
Should have a tinted orange color to it
Dash of pepper
Dash of garlic powder
Dash of cayenne pepper (optional)
You can use canola spray oil or olive oil
Toast almonds for a minute
Mix in veggies with almonds
Cover for five minutes on medium heat
After 5 minutes open lid and Move veggies around and leave the lid off
Once veggies are cooked add to quinoa
Fold veggies in quinoa
Listo! Ready! Can be enjoyed with black beans. Delicioso!
