Quinoa Tacos!
Tonight for dinner we had a family favorite. TACOS! Since we are now vegan we use quinoa tacos. We also decided to make some quinoa garlic bites. The quinoa tacos are easy enough. They do not take a lot of time and taste exactly like tacos. The quinoa makes a great ground beef substitute. I love that I found this recipe early on because we eat tacos alot.
The quinoa garlic bites looked so good and tasty. Unfortunatley we did not get to try them ☹ I followed the directions exactly. Yet for some reason the inside just stayed mush. I even cooked them a little longer than needed. Since they were not working I even tried cutting in half in case they were too big. No matter what I did they were still soggy. The recipe which I got here did not state whether or not the cooked quinoa should be cooled or not. So I am wondering if it should of been cooled and had too much moisture because of it.
Well the tacos were a success! So supper was not a total fail at least! Everyone left the table full and satisfied! My kids really love these things.

This looks very good I have never used quinoa in this way just as a side like rice. Thanks I will give it a try.
Yes they were very tasty
That looks soooo yummy, I have this on my to do list for upcoming recipes!!!!
It is so good. You will not regret it!
Thats look soo good!
These look fantastic, so tasty and different and it's wonderful all the family join in - my lot are so fussy drives me nuts. Shame about the Garlic bites, I have the same problem with dumplings was told it was down to too much moisture so you are probably right with that.

Oh my fpur kids used to be picky. Some days are worse than others. In the start i thought they were gunna starve but now they eat stuff i never thought they would lol.
Wow, those tortillas sounds amazing, I definitely have to try them.
However, I have some of my own recipes made with quinoa, including desserts and I always cook the quinoa day before and I store it in a refrigerator over night in a sealed container.
Thank you so much Dear @skye1 for this wonderful entry 🍒 🍌🍑🌿🍍🍓🍇
