Watch how to make quinoa perfectly & quinoa tacosHere’s a peek into Alex and my home kitchen in Indianapolis! This year we’re transporting you right into our kitchen to make some healthy, delicious and simple recipes. Along with the quinoa tacos, we also share our method for cooking quinoa perfectly and a few tips for amping up flavor in your quinoa.
How to make loaded quinoa tacosNow for the quinoa tacos! Alex and I created this vegetarian taco recipe as a quick and easy dinner idea. To make the quinoa taco filling, we do the following: follow the 2 ways to make quinoa taste better below. Then when the quinoa is done, sauté it in a skillet for a few minutes with coconut oil and taco spices. When it’s done, add a bit of lime juice and sliced green onions for freshness. It transforms everyday quinoa into a delicious taco filling. The organic quinoa shown here and all the ingredients in this recipe are available at ALDI, so it’s an accessible way to eat lots of organic grains and veggies! ALDI has a huge selection of organic, gluten-free, low carb, high protein and clean label products and produce that you can pick up at incredibly affordable prices.
Then, get creative with your taco toppings! There is some art to topping a taco to make sure the toppings work together in terms of texture, flavor, and color. You can use whatever toppings you’d like, just make sure to have a creamy sauce! The creamy sauce is a must with quinoa tacos since they can be dry without it. We chose our toppings to be simple but compliment the quinoa taco filling perfectly. A quick bell pepper slaw is tangy and crunchy, and our spicy sour cream makes the creamy sauce. Then top with salty feta crumbles! We’ve also used a spring mix as the base of the taco, to get in some nutritious greens! And finally we’ve used pickled onions for some flair! You can definitely omit them (they take 1 hour to make and you can make the night before). We like using them for some extra tangy flavor and pizzazz.

In the video above, we share our 2 ways to make quinoa taste better. Alex and I have found there a few ways to step up our Perfect Quinoa method to make it taste even better. Here’s what we do (and we use them both in our quinoa tacos recipe):
Toast the quinoa. Toasting the quinoa in a dry pan before cooking it brings in a beautiful, nutty flavor to the quinoa! Use veggie broth. Instead of using water to cook your quinoa, use broth instead! It brings a bold, savory note to the quinoa that’s takes no extra effort to add.Do you have an Instant Pot or pressure cooker? Try our Instant Pot quinoa method instead!

Description
These loaded quinoa tacos are a delicious vegetarian taco recipe, featuring quinoa taco filling, bell pepper slaw, spicy sour cream, and feta!
Ingredients
1 cup Simply Nature Organic Quinoa
2 cups Simply Nature Organic Vegetable Broth
3 tablespoons Simply Nature Organic Coconut Oil
1 tablespoon cumin
1 tablespoon paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
2 green onions
1 lime
1 bell peppers (we used 1/2 red and 1/2 orange)
4 cups Simply Nature Organic Spring Mix
Salsa
Sour cream (+ a few shakes of hot sauce, as desired) or hummus for vegan*
Feta cheese crumbles (omit for vegan)
Pickled red onions (optional; if using, make in advance)
10 to 12 corn tortillas
Instructions
Cook the quinoa: In a dry pan over medium heat, add the dry quinoa and toast it over medium heat, stirring frequently. After a few minutes you’ll start to hear a popping sound; continue stirring until the quinoa just starts to brown and smell toasty, about 3 to 4 minutes total.
Immediately transfer the quinoa to a fine mesh strainer and rinse it in the sink. Return it to the pot and add the vegetable broth and 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt. Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and simmer where the broth is just bubbling for about 15 to 20 minutes, until the broth has been completely absorbed. (Check by pulling back the quinoa with a fork to see if broth remains.) Turn off the heat and let sit with the lid on to steam for 5 minutes, then fluff the quinoa with a fork.
Prepare the toppings*: While the quinoa cooks, do the following: Make a quick bell pepper slaw by cutting the bell pepper into thin strips, then cutting them in half. Place them in a bowl and mix with 1 tablespoon lime juice and a few pinches kosher salt, and allow to stand until serving. If serving with spicy sour cream, stir in few shakes hot sauce to taste (or do the same with hummus for a vegan option).
Finish the quinoa taco filling: When quinoa is done, melt the coconut oil in large nonstick pan over medium heat. Add cooked quinoa and stir to combine. Add the cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, and 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt and stir. Then cook without stirring for about 5 minutes or until the bottom starts to get crispy. Remove from the heat and stir in 1 tablespoon lime juice and green onions. (Add any remaining lime juice to the bell pepper slaw.)
Serve the quinoa tacos: Warm the tortillas, or char them by placing a tortilla on an open gas flame on medium for a few seconds per side, flipping with tongs, until slightly blackened and warm. Top the tortillas with the greens, quinoa filling, bell peppers, pickled onions, sour cream and feta crumbles. Serve immediately. If desired, serve with a side of Supremely Simple Refried Black Beans.
Notes
*For the toppings, get as creative as you’d like! Just make sure to have something creamy as a sauce to hold it all together. For vegan, using hummus brings in an almost cheesy flavor (we like the Park Street Deli Classic Hummus at ALDI.) Options of other creamy vegan sauces are: Cilantro Drizzle & Chipotle Tahini Sauce. You could also add pinto or black beans to make it more filling, or serve with a side of our Supremely Simple Refried Black Beans as mentioned above.

Roasted Cauliflower and Farro Salad with Feta and Avocado
Trying to eat better this year? I know, it’s extra-hard when it’s freezing cold outside and delivery pizza is just one call away. This warm, fresh yet hearty salad is the perfect solution. It packs well for lunch, too.
I really love the combination of garlicky farro with roasted cauliflower and salty feta and olives. Farro is an ancient grain related to wheat that you should be able to find in the health section of grocery stores. It’s nutty in flavor, freezes and defrosts well, and offers some heft to salads.
Fresh greens, sliced avocado, and lemon round it out. This seasonless salad is bursting with bold Mediterranean flavors.
You might recognize this salad from the archives. We have a lot of new visitors this year (hello and welcome!), and I’m trying to make sure my favorite recipes have appealing photos.
I love revisiting existing recipes because they give me more creative energy to devote to new recipes. I’m working on a new batch this week and can’t wait to share the results with you.
