    Perhaps because Im enchilada obsessed, this is my FAVORITE way to eat quinoa perfect for Meatless Mondays!! You can make this ahead, then bake when ready to eat, and leftovers (without the avocado) are just as good as the day you made it which is perfect to pack for lunch. Plus, this is protein packed over 17 grams per serving!,Mediterranean Quinoa Salad,Southwest Quinoa with Mango and Black Beans,Protein Egg and Quinoa Jars,Quinoa and Spinach Patties,Beef Potato and Quinoa Soup
