Receta Quinoa Taco Bowl
This dish?! Oh THIS dish!
Oh yeah.
How can I describe it to you? Well you know when you eat something and the entire time all you can think of is how bad it must be for you? You wonder how many calories you’re eating and at the same time you continue to eat it because it tastes so good? Well this is not one of those meals except for the last part, it tastes super good. It’s also loaded with protein, vitamins and veggies. Mexican without the guilt. Don’t you love it already? I certainly did.
Mexican food is some of my favorite but we all know it’s not the best for our waste lines. My mission here is to create a dish with mexican flavors without adding inches to my waste.
I really loved having an egg on top for dinner. However, for lunch I had it without the egg and its was equally delicious.
Beautiful huh?
How do you feel about having Mexican food now?! I strongly suggest giving this recipe a try.
