Quinoa salad tacos

Quinoa is one of my favorite foods! It's on my list of superfoods. Quinoa contains all the nine necessary amino acids making it a complete protein. Included is lysine which is necessary for the tissues of your muscles to grow and repair themselves. And since quinoa is a good alternative source of protein instead of meat, it is perfect for vegans. It will give you the necessary and sufficient amount of protein that your body needs. Also very high in antioxidants, minerals (high in magnesium), vitamins and! it is gluten free.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup cooked quinoa
• 3/4 to 1 cup cooked black or another kind of bean (or used canned)
• 1 small orange, peeled, sectioned and cut into pieces
• 1 small avocado, diced
• 1/2 red or yellow pepper, diced (about 1/2 cup)
• 1 small shallot, finely diced or 3 green onions, sliced
• juice of 1 lime
• 1/4 tsp each: ground cumin and chili powder
• 1 small bunch baby spinach, washed well and thinly sliced (any tender green would be fine)
• a few corn tortillas (homemade are best, but I've used store-bought here)
• crumbled goat cheese (optional)

Mix all the ingredients together and serve in corn tortillas.
