Easy

I used Better Than Bouillon beef broth here since it was pairing with birria- and mozzarella-flavored pupusas, but use whatever broth fits what you're serving it with.

Ingredients

• 1 cup quinoa, rinsed
• 2 cups broth (Better Than Bouillon beef or chicken, or your favorite)
• Salt, to taste

Steps

1.Combine the rinsed quinoa and broth in a saucepan and bring to a boil.
2.Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until the liquid is absorbed and the quinoa is tender, about 15 minutes.
3.Fluff with a fork and season with salt to taste if needed.

Notes

• Better Than Bouillon is a must in my book, but any good broth works.
• Chicken broth makes this a light, easy-on-the-stomach option when you're feeling under the weather.
