Quinoa Taco Bowl Recipe

Exploring Tex-Mex Cuisine

Tex-Mex is a fusion of Mexican and American cuisine that originated in South Texas. It became popular in the Southwest region and has become a fan favorite across the country.

It showcases a blend of bold flavors and is characterized by its use of shredded cheese, beans, tortillas, and meat - along with chili pepper and other smoky spices, of course. This recipe uses White Quinoa as a delicious substitute for the classic white or brown rice.

To make your own Tex-Mex seasoning blend, create a mixture using the following spices:

• Chili pepper

• Paprika

• Cumin

• Coriander

• Garlic powder

• Oregano

• Salt

To expand to Southwestern recipe repertoire, try our Tex-Mex Chicken Sauté. This bold dish made with orzo is an easy and delicious meal that is sure to please the whole family.

Texas Stir-Fry is another great dish that comes together easily but packs a punch of flavor. For the vegetarian foodies, try our Brown Rice & Black Bean Burrito!

Recipe Variations

One of the keys to creating an elevated meal in a bowl is to learn how you can switch things up with a new rice, quinoa or grain base as well as tasty and exciting toppings.

-While this recipe uses our protein-packed White Quinoa, switch things up and use Arborio Rice, Pearl Couscous or one of our orzo pasta recipes as a base. (Learn where to buy pearl couscous and how to cook Arborio Rice all of our other products by visiting the product page)

-This recipe is originally vegetarian, but if desired, you can make it even more protein-filled with shredded chicken, beef or pork.

-Add in other toppings such as guacamole in place of sliced avocado, homemade pico de gallo, or crispy tortilla chips. Take a few pointers from our Huevos Rancheros Rice Bowl for more ideas.
