CHIPOTLE LIME QUINOA

  • 1 lime juiced & zested

  • 2-3 chipotle peppers in adobo(minced)plus 3 Tbsp of the sauce from the same can

  • 1 Tsp cumin

  • 1 Tbsp ancho chili powder

Directions:

 

1. Cook quinoa as directed on the package, though in this case we will use stock, along with the lime juice & zest instead of water.

 

2. Once cooked set aside.

 

3. In a saucepan add a little bit of olive oil and minced garlic. Cook until fragrant.

 

4. Next add in minced peppers, adobo sauce, and spices. Fold in, and cook for another minute. Add the quinoa and toss to combine.

 

5. Build your taco using crumbled pieces of Double Crème cheese, which acts as a cotija replacement in this recipe. Soft, rich and creamy. Salsa, fresh sprouts, cilantro, salsa verde and grilled corn.
