I love quinoa. Its delicious and healthy. You can add anything to quinoa based on what you like. In this recipe, I used mushrooms, carrots, and advocado just because it is what I had in my refrigerator. (Avocado by the way is amazing in this!) I also love to put corn, sweet potato, or black beans when I have it. Kale or spinach would be awesome as well. Feel free to experiment with it and add your favorite ingredients.
Ingredients:
- 2-3 cups cooked quinoa (directions to cook quinoa below!)
- 4 sliced mushrooms
