I’m sure you know that quinoa is a super food. However, did you know that 1 cup of cooked quinoa contains 8 grams of protein, 5 grams of fiber, and almost 3 mg. of iron??? I don’t know about you but I am always looking for fast easy ways to add these three nutrients to my family’s diet. This recipe is adapted from TDM’s Mexican Quinoa Bowl Recipe. Enjoy!

Ingredients
2 Cups Cooked Quinoa

1 Large or 2 Small Tomatoes chopped
