- 8oz Uncooked Quinoa, Rinsed
- 1 Jalapeno, Minced
- 1 Pepper Diced

Method:
In a large skillet, heat the oil and sautee the garlic and onions for about a minute. Add the rest of the ingredients except the green onions and bring to a simmer.
Simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 20-30 minutes. Once all the liquid has evaporated, check to see if quinoa is cooked. Remove from heat and cover for 5 minutes before serving.
Top with green onions and serve!
