Mexican Quinoa Salad/Salsa!

Alright everyone I am back with a wicked recipe I tried and loved from the one and only: Katilette from the Shaytards on Youtube. (One of the most famous families on Youtube!)


Here it is:



Mexican Quinoa Salad with Organic Corn Tortilla Chips!






Ingredients:
-1 bag of Organic tortilla chips or Ol Del Paso chips
-1 1/2 cups cooked quinoa, cooled and side aside in a bowl.
-1 jalapeno diced
-1/3 medium sweet onion, diced
-1/4 cup fresh chopped cilantro
-1 green bell pepper diced
-1 can of black beans drained and rinsed
-1 can of corn (niblets) drained and rinsed
-2 large fresh tomatoes, diced
-1 red bell pepper, diced
-1 avocado sliced
-1 or 2 chorizo sausages, sliced thinly and fried lightly.


Zesty Sauce to pour on top:

- Juice of 2 limes
-1/4 cup olive oil
-1 tbsp ground cumin
Salt & Pepper to taste and whisk together!





The instructions are very straight forward, Make sure the quinoa is cooled so that the salad is ready to eat right away. You can also fry the chorizo while the quinoa is sitting on the stove. Have all of the vegetables chopped and ready to dump into a big bowl, along with the canned black beans and corn. Mix in the quinoa, and pour the delicious tangy sauce over top. Serve with a handful of tortilla chips in the bowl, and voila! A healthy, filling home made dinner made in under an hour!
