+# Instant Pot Quinoa Taco Bowls
+
+This is based on [this recipe](https://www.simplyhappyfoodie.com/instant-pot-quinoa-taco-bowls/),
+but made only with things you can find in Costco. My fiancé and I have made this
+a few times, and it's a great alternative to giving up on life and ordering
+delivery.
+
+## Recipe
+
+Makes 4-6 servings, at least based on experience
+
+### Ingredients
+
+- 2 cups quinoa, dry
+- 0.75 kg ground beef (pre-cooked or sautéed)
+- 400 ml medium salsa
+- 2.5 cups water
+- 2 tablespoons garlic powder
+- 2 tablespoons salt (to taste)
+- 1 teaspoon oregano
+- 3 tablespoons ground dried onions
+- 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper
+
+If you want it to be more spicy, add more spice. We've found this tastes pretty
+good when you add more spice, but this depends on your mood more than anything.
+
+### Preparation
+
+If you haven't cooked the ground beef yet, sautée/brown it in the instant pot.
+See things like [this](https://amindfullmom.com/instant-pot-ground-beef/) for
+more information on how to do this. Any method will do, just make sure the ground
+beef is actually cooked to avoid accidentally poisoning yourself.
+
+Put all of the other ingredients in the instant pot. Order doesn't matter, but I
+have found that better results happen when the quinoa is put in first.
+
+Mix everything with your favorite mixing tool.
+
+Put the lid on your instant pot and set it to manual for 2 minutes.
+
+Once that is done, leave it alone for about 15 minutes (this doesn't have to be
+exact).
+
+Serve warm in a bowl, can go well with tortilla chips depending on your mood.
+
+### Reheating
+
+For about a bowlful, nuke until hot (~1 minute 30 seconds seems to be the magic 
+number). Eat while hot.
