Quinoa Taco Bowl

Can never go wrong with Mexican - it is definitely one of my go-to's when i don't know what to have for dinner! It's super easy to whip up and you can improvise with any ingredients you have on hand. I really enjoyed this Mexican bowl with the spiced quinoa - it takes both quinoa and Mexican dishes to the next level so i would definitely recommend giving this recipe a go!

Ingredients:

Quinoa:

- 1/4 cup quinoa

- 1 tsp fajita spice mix

- 1 can of black beans, drained and rinsed well

- 1 capsicum

- 4 - 5 portobello mushrooms

- 1/2 red onion

- Coconut aminos or tamari

- Large handful of spinach

- Handful of tortilla chips

Guac:

- 1/2 a large or 1 small avocado

- 1/2 a tomato

- 1/4 - 1/2 red onion

- Juice of 1/2 a lime

- A few drops of tabasco (could add in some fresh chilli instead)

- Salt and pepper

Instructions:

1. Begin by preparing your guacamole. Chop your avocado, red onion and tomato and add to a bowl along with the rest of the ingredients. Mix and set aside

2. Now cook your quinoa. Follow the instructions on the back of your packet and cook the quinoa with the fajita spice mix.

3. While your quinoa is cooking, prepare the salad ingredients by chopping up your veggies and rinsing your beans.

4. Add your veggies to a pan on medium heat along with coconut aminos (could also use oil or tamari), and more fajita spice mix (optional) and cook until soft. Add your beans in at the end until they heat through.

5. Once everything is done, assemble your bowls. Add spinach or lettuce as a base and add all of your cooked ingredients on top, along with some tortilla chips and your guacamole.
