Vegan Recipe: One Pot Mexican Quinoa Bowl
This vegan meal has been one of the yummiest I have ever made (my boyfriend approved). And the best thing about it? It is super quick and easy because it honestly doesn’t need a lot of cooking experience. I mean, who doesn’t love these kind of meals where you can just throw everything together?
In addition to that, it has some super healthy ingredients such as quinoa (more to its health benefits by simplyquinoa) and beans (also high in protein and super nutrient dense).
Honestly, don’t miss out on this recipe! It is also great for bulk meals as it can be easily stored in the fridge for a few days.
