Quinoa Taco Salad (My new favorite Meatless Monday Recipe! )



1 cup of quinoa (I used a mix of red and white but it doesn't make a difference just looks pretty)
2 1/4 cups of water
1 tbs olive oil
1 1/2 cup of corn (I used defrosted frozen corn, but canned would work too)
1 can of black beans
1/2 a bunch of chopped cilantro
2 green onions chopped
2 limes
1/2 tsp of paprika
1 tsp of cumin
1/2 tsp chile powder
1 tsp salt
Tortilla chips 

Put quinoa, water & oil into a medium pot. Bring to a boil , then cover and let simmer on low for about 15-20 minutes or until all the quinoa has spiraled out. Once it begins to boil add in your paprika, cumin, chile powder & salt. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. When quinoa is done add in corn, beans, cilantro, green onion & juice from both limes. Stir together and let it cook another 3-4 minutes. Serve over tortilla chips and enjoy!
