Instructions
Cook your quinoa. Cook quinoa on the stove top - add the quinoa to a pot with the water and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer and cover the pot with a lid. Allow the quinoa to cook for 15-20 minutes. Fluff with fork when done. Alternatively, you can cook the quinoa in a rice cooker, by following my recipe in the notes below.
Once quinoa is cooked, mix in the taco seasoning. Stir well to combine.
Warm or char your tortillas, add a scoop of the quinoa taco filling, and load on with your favorite toppings. Enjoy!
