One Pan Mexican Quinoa

Did you just get as excited about the words "one pan" as I did?!  This Mexican Quinoa recipe is easy, delicious, packed with protein, fiber and flavor and is the number one raved about meal amongst the clients I coach one-on-one for nutrition. The reason?  "Its so tasty, I would actually choose this over going out to a Mexican restaurant."
 
Serve it plain, in a taco shell or even throw in some cooked chicken.  Its perfect for your whole family!
