Have you ever found a recipe that is quick, delicious and nutritious? It's generally very hard to hit that trifecta but the Instant Pot Mexican Style Quinoa ranks highly on each standard and altogether is a total keeper. This recipe has 2 minutes of active cooking time, about 5-10 minutes of rest time depending on how you like your quinoa (soft or a little firmer) and uses pantry staples that you're likely to have on hand at any given time.
I used my Instant Pot Duo-60 7-in-1 to make this and it remains my favorite IP (I own 4 now) and the one that I use the most. The recipe for this amazing meal is right after the jump.
Thanks for trying the recipe and hope you're having a wonderful holiday season!
