Quinoa is a gluten-free, high protein food that is great at delivering the flavors of whatever you cook it with. Quinoa made in a pressure cooker is super easy, turning out fluffy and tender with very little clean-up. Quinoa is easy to find at most grocery stores these days–just look for it near the bagged rice and beans.

This burrito bowl is absolutely delicious and is on the table in only 35 minutes. It’s filled with savory, fluffy quinoa, tender beans and corn and just the right amount of spice. Top this warm treat with cool avocado, diced tomato and lime slices for a taste sensation!
