Chorizo Quinoa Bowl

Similar to a one-pot Mexican quinoa dish, here is a spicy quinoa meal prep with chorizo and jalapenos, which is a great way to throw in vegetables and spices in your pan.

Most of the meals I cook are one-pot type recipes and you often find my raving about them because they are straightforward and easy for my cooking days.

Quinoa is great as it contains good health benefits and this is a recipe to help give it some spicy flavour with the addition of chorizo and jalapenos.

The aroma of this dish made the kitchen smell so good!
