Almost Vegan Quinoa Burritos

If anyone tells you that "Doing Triathlons is inexpensive" they are lying, have a sugar mama/daddy or are so ridiculously rich money ain't a thing. 
Unfortunately, I'm not Jay-Z so things get can be tough at times. Since leftover chicken was the only meat in the fridge I had to make do with what was available. 

Almost Vegan Quinoa Burritos 
1 can black beans 
1c quinoa (raw)
2c chicken broth (can use vegetable or water)
1/2 of onion, chopped
2t cumin
1t paprika 
1T olive oil 
lettuce
flour tortillas
Place oil, cumin and paprika in a pot, fry till fragrant (about 1min, don't burn spices). 
Add in onion and saute for another min or two, add in quinoa and beans and stir for another min or two. Remove from heat and place in microwave rice cooker. Add in chicken broth and cook per rice cookers instructions. If you don't have a microwave rice cooker, add the chicken broth to the pot and cook on low till liquid has been absorbed. Once cooked, place on tortilla, add lettuce, cheese, salsa and serve. 


I added leftover chicken from the other day

On another note, my registration for the Ko olina tri has been sent in. Looking forward to it since it's my first sprint race post-Achilles tendon injuries. Should be fun.

Good luck. Thanks for the recommendation of a new place to look for items. There is no brand loyalty here (yet). Willing to try made in USA products. Your food looks ono!

Good luck with your achilles tendon for the race. Cya there.
