Quinoa Super Tacos

9 ingredients
7 steps

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)

Directions

  1. 1
    Cook quinoa as directed on package. Quinoa takes about 15 minutes to cook, so you can prepare the other ingredients in the mean time.
  2. 2
    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.
  3. 3
    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.
  4. 4
    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.
  5. 5
    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.
  6. 6
    You can add the lettuce, queso fresco, and/or sour cream if you'd like.
  7. 7
    Delicious, and good for you as well.
