Quinoa Super Tacos - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/2 cup quinoa
1 (8 ounce) can refried beans
1 roma tomato
3 corn tortillas
1 dash Tabasco jalapeno sauce
3 lime wedges
1/4 cup shredded lettuce (optional)
2 tablespoons queso fresco (optional)
1 tablespoon fat free sour cream (optional)

Preparation

Cook quinoa as directed on package. Quinoa takes about 15 minutes to cook, so you can prepare the other ingredients in the mean time.
Dice Tomato. Heat a pan over medium heat. Saute tomato for a few minutes until tender while adding a dash or two (more or less depending on your taste) of Jalapeno sauce while you saute. Remove from heat and pour tomatoes in a small dish. Return pan to heat. You will use the pan to toast the tortillas.
Heat up refried beans on the stove or in the microwave, whichever you prefer. If you are only making one serving, I recommend using only 1/2 the can.
Return to warm pan that you had sauteed the tomatoes inches Toast one tortilla at a time for about a minute on each side, just enough so they are warm. By this time, Quinoa should be done.
Spread out tortillas on a plate. Spread a layer of refried beans over each tortilla. Next, spoon a tablespoon or two of quinoa on each tortilla. Add a layer of the sauteed tomatoes. Squeeze a fresh lime wedge over each. Add a dash of salt.
You can add the lettuce, queso fresco, and/or sour cream if you'd like.
Delicious, and good for you as well.
