(24day) Quinoa (KEEN-wah) Taco Salad

I have not even finished eating my bowl of this deliciousness I wanted to post this asap because everyone in the world of Advocare NEEDS to try this one for sure! (if you haven't already of course..)

The only thing you really need to cook for this is the Quinoa, how awesome!
VEGETARIAN-prepare ground meat substitute I like to use Lightlife Brand which can be found at Safeway, Sprouts, and Whole Foods

Ingredients:

1 cup of Quinoa
2 cups of water or chicken broth (I just used water)
1 tablespoon taco seasoning (I did not have any)

Boiling Quinoa
Ground Turkey


While that cooks chop up the salad ingredients

Salad ingredients:

Lettuce
Tomato
Avocado
Lime
Salsa
Cilantro

Directions:
Rinse Quinoa under cold water and drain. Pour into a sauce pan, add water or broth and taco seasoning. Cover and bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook on low for 15 minutes or until you notice the liquid has absorbed.

When ready to serve, scoop the quinoa into bowl and top with the salad.


Since I am not on the cleanse, I added a dollop of natural sour cream, and 2 crushed up tortilla chips
