Notes
I like to get a huge bag of quinoa from Costco. It costs about $20, but there are about 42 servings in that bag! The bulk section in your grocery store is also a great place to find quinoa for a good price.
Dry fiesta / fajita / taco seasonings are great in this recipe, but you can feel free to get creative and use any spices or seasonings that you'd like!
