This was one of those times that I want to the fridge and said to myself, "what food do I have and what an I possibly make with it?" I ended up making this quinoa with a bunch of extra things. I had extra taco seasoning from my taco sweet potatoes, an extra can of beans, and an avocado that was about to turn if I didn't use it. So I made the rest of the quinoa I had mixed it with the taco seasoning. Chopped up the avocado, and a yellow mini capsicum I got at the Queens Street Markets, mixed those with the beans and then mixed that with quinoa and steamed spinach. Lastly I added so left over sour cream to give it some moisture and to add a cheesy flavor. Done! Southwest flavored quinoa. It was yummy hot and cold. Though, the avocados were the ingredient that stood out. Next time I might try making avocado creme with the sour cream and avocado instead of adding them separately, but this was a really nice dish for something thrown together with no forethought.
