INSTANT POT MEXICAN QUINOA RECIPE
We are huge fans of Mexican inspired recipes. As much as we love Mexican rice, Instant pot refried beans and Mexican Mason Jar Salad, we love this quinoa recipe too. It filling, hearty and so delicious. Being a Vegetarian / Vegan - making delicious work & school lunches can be tricky. But I am glad that this One Pot Quinoa bowl works great. You can make this quick and easy Vegan lunch in batches ahead of time, portion them in lunch boxes and refrigerate up to 5 days! This super quick and easy recipe roughly takes about 30 minutes from scratch, with just 10 minutes hand on work. How easy can it be! I particularly love making them in Instant Pot Pressure Cooker as it is extremely convenient and easy. I love the fact that with minimal effort, a delicious VEGAN & GLUTEN FREE MEAL can be made with ease. Not only does this Mexican quinoa works as great side dish, it is a wonderful healthy one pot meal too.

Tips for the Best Mexican Quinoa
Rinse the Quinoa for at least 1 minutes before using it in the cooking. Use canned Black Beans in the recipe to speed up the process. Don’t have black beans, use kidney beans or pinto beans instead. But bear in mind, the flavors will be different. Use a combination of peppers or just a single colored pepper, they make a difference. I like to use Taco Seasoning in the recipe. If you don’t have them handy use a combination of spices as a substitute. Detailed substitution is mentioned in the recipe card below. Do not skip the Jalapenos in the recipe. They add the right punch of heat in the recipe. Alternatively use green chillies. I do use Tomato Salsa or Canned Tomatoes in the recipe. Crushed tomatoes or Fire roasted tomatoes are not available easily in UK - so either of them are my best bet! Make this Quinoa recipe ahead of time and store in the refrigerator. It stays fresh for up to 5 days. Add the toppings just before serving.
