Spicy One-Pot Mexican Inspired Quinoa

Tasty and easy! Would recommend!

So quick, easy, and delicious! I added some coconut milk because it was a bit too spicy for my taste. Absolutely delicious, thank you!

This dish is such a banger! All the flavors come together so well and it's always nice when you just have to use one pot! Will be making this on repeat. Thanks PUL 💜

Simple & delicious! I substituted fire roasted canned tomatoes and it gave it a great smoky flavor !

OMG, people! This is the best dish with quinoa and beans. I did not have canned tomatoes so I switched it to fresh and sun-dried tomatoes, and switched pickled jalapeño on banana peppers. Thank you so much 😊 PUL! You are amazing 😻

Quite simple and delicious!

Very tasty ☺️

Such a joy to put together using just one pot! My local grocery store doesn’t let me buy a red chili on its own, so I subbed a fresh jalapeño with the seeds removed and it worked perfectly! Another delicious and easy PUL recipe 🍅🥑🧄🧅

This is such a delicious dish ❤️ Loved it. Super quick and easy to make, also the first time i enjoyed eating quinoa 🙈 I dnt like the texture or the taste of quinoa 99% of the time, but in this dish it works so well. I might even try making it with giant couscous or rice next time 😊 Thanks PUL team ❤️
Oh and Happy Birthday to you all 🥳🎂💐🥂

We loved it 🥰 I used quite a bit of gochu garu instead of a fresh chili. On the second day we used it as filling for wraps.

Can I use rice instead of quinoa?

Aw thank you so much, Daniella 🥰 We hope to keep sharing more recipes like this one!

You can use rice instead of quinoa, although you’ll need to adjust the liquid and cooking time since rice cooks differently. For example, you could use white rice and add a bit more broth, then simmer until tender. Keep an eye on it and add a splash more liquid if needed 🤗 Hope you love it!
