Ingredients
  

  • ¼ cup quinoa white, black, red, or tri-color
  • ¼ cup packed fresh spinach
  • ½ bell pepper sliced (choose your favorite color)
  • 3 mushrooms sliced
  • ½ tablespoon Adobo seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 large egg

Instructions
 

  • Cook the quinoa according to package instructions. Usually, this means rinsing it well, bringing 2 cups of water to a boil, then adding the quinoa. Cover and let it simmer on low for about 15 minutes until fluffy.
  • Wash, dry, and slice your vegetables. You can sauté them lightly in a separate pan or leave them raw for extra crunch.
  • Add the Adobo seasoning, salt, and pepper to the warm quinoa and stir in the veggies until combined. Cover to keep it warm.
  • In a small nonstick skillet, cook the egg to your liking. I love mine fried with a slightly runny yolk, but you can scramble, poach, or even make it over-easy.
  • Transfer the quinoa and veggie mixture into a bowl, then place the cooked egg on top. Serve immediately and enjoy!
