I love quinoa…..I also love nachos! 🙂 This may be one of the best recipes of my life……….just saying. 😉 I’m guest blogging over at The Pampered Baby today, and sharing the recipe for Mexican quinoa. When I created this recipe last week, I had some leftovers. I got the craving for nachos and decided to make the nachos more filling and healthy by adding this quinoa. It was a great idea, these are soooo delicious! I don’t eat nachos that often, but when I do, I do them up right. I hope you all have an amazing Monday. 🙂 If you have any recipes or foods you would like to see me post, please leave a comment below. I’d love to hear your feedback.

I can’t seem to find the recipe for the Mexican quinoa portion. Any way you can provide that for me? Looks awesome!
Stefanie, its 1 cup of Mexican Quinoa 🙂 I hope you love it!
I think she means the actual recipe and ingredients for the Mexican quinoa, not the amount needed for the nachos.
I can’t find it either.
Hey Hellena,

yum yum nice recipe, I love quinoa
Thanks! I love quinoa too 🙂
Silly question.. On the mexican quinoa, it calls for rinsed quinoa… Is it cooked or uncooked? (this is my first time using quinoa if you can’t tell! I had it at a friends the other night in a salad and loved it so I can’t wait to try this recipe, it looks awesome)
The rinsed quinoa is uncooked, then you cook it! 🙂 Rinsing it gets rid of of the bitter taste that is on the seed.
It turned out so so good! It is one of our new favorites thank you for this awesome recipe.
Im so happy! It is one of my favourites as well. 😉
I am also an occasional nacho lover. They are kind of my weakness. This recipe sounds perfect!! I can’t feel bad about eating nachos when there is quinoa on them!
Yes, no need to feel guilty! 😉
