Quinoa Bean Tacos image

I loved the idea of using quinoa in tacos, and this is what has evolved as a favorite variation around here. Feel free to adjust toppings to your favorites. This also works with soft tacos (the 6" size), but the extra texture provided by a crunchy shell with the soft filling is a nice touch.

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup quinoa
8 ounces refried beans
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
8 hard taco shells
1/2 cup lettuce, shredded

sour cream, to taste

These tacos were a bit bland for my taste. I think they could have used more seasoning, perhaps from a different type of salsa or a different type of sauce.

These tacos were a bit too dry for my taste. I think they could have used more moisture, perhaps from a salsa or a different type of sauce.
