- Rinse the quinoa thoroughly before cooking to remove its natural coating, which can make it taste bitter.
- For extra flavor, lightly toast the quinoa in the olive oil for a couple of minutes before adding the vegetable broth.
- Fresh lime juice can be replaced with bottled lime juice if you are in a pinch, but fresh juice gives a more vibrant flavor.
- You can add other vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini for additional texture and nutrients.
- To enhance the flavor, garnish the finished dish with fresh avocado slices or a dollop of sour cream.
- If you like it spicier, consider adding a chopped jalapeño or a pinch of cayenne pepper.
