Ground Beef Quinoa Tacos

From: Jenn@eatcakefordinner

1/2 c. dry quinoa

3/4 Lb. lean ground beef

1/4 c. finely chopped onion

salt and pepper, to taste

1 1/2 tsp. ground cumin

1 tsp. chili powder

1 tsp. garlic powder

1 tsp. oregano

1 can mild Rotel, undrained (diced tomatoes and green chiles)

1 can corn, drained

juice of 1/2 a lime

2 Tbl. chopped cilantro

For serving:

10-12 taco shells

sour cream

Feta cheese

lettuce

diced tomatoes

chopped cilantro

Prepare quinoa according to package directions. This can be done ahead of time and refrigerated until ready to use. In a large skillet, brown the ground beef. When beef is almost cooked through, add the onions and saute until tender, 3-4 minutes. Add remaining ingredients, including the cooked quinoa. Cook until everything is heated through. Taste and adjust seasonings, if needed. Serve in taco shells with sour cream, Feta cheese, lettuce, diced tomatoes and chopped cilantro or any other desired toppings. Makes 10-12 tacos.

Jenn's Notes: If you want to bulk this up even more, you could add a can of black or pinto beans. Ground turkey can be used instead of ground beef and it still tastes good. This tastes amazing leftover.
