Quinoa and Chicken Mexican Style

After a great work out at Meyer Fitness, I decided to cook something healthy tonight! My mom inspired me, and I purchased some quinoa. Not knowing how to cook this, or what goes well with it, I decided to wing it. For those of you who don't know how to cook quinoa it's very similar to cooking rice. Two parts liquid to one part quinoa.

You will need:

Grilled chicken strips

Quinoa (cooked)

black beans

tomato, diced

splash of lime juice

sprinkle of mexican cheese

diced green chili peppers

avocado

Mix first seven ingredients together, top with avocado, and enjoy!!!!!!

**THE INSPIRATION:  Last night for Mother's day, my mom made the best dinner ever!! I realize that I should have been cooking, but she is the bomb dot com when it comes to the kitchen. She made grilled chicken tenderloins (we love to marinate in caesar dressing), cucumber greek salad, and sautéed quinoa with some yummy veggies. It was AMAZING!  

Here is our yummy Mother's Day Dinner!

I think she incorporated chopped green peppers, chopped carrots, chopped shallots, and baked almond slices in the quinoa.  

The cucumber salad was diced cucumber, chopped black olives, halved cherry tomatoes, diced onion, feta, garlic salt, oregano, red wine vinegar, and olive oil. SOO GOOD! (But I didn't eat the onions)
