Instructions

  1. Prepare quinoa according to package directions, about 15 minutes.
  2. When quinoa is done cooking and water has been absorbed, stir in refried beans, cumin, chili powder, and cayenne pepper. Mix well to combine and reduce to low heat.
  3. Stir in shredded cheese until it melts. Be careful to continue stirring frequently, otherwise the mixture may scorch on the bottom.
  4. If desired, warm taco shells according to package directions.
  5. Stuff quinoa bean mixture evenly into taco shells and finish with your desired toppings.
