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.
