Quinoa has slowly become a staple in my home!  I love cooking with it because it packs so much protein and keeps you full after a meal!  This recipe for Slow Cooker Gluten Free Mexi Quinoa and Beans would be a great addition to a potluck or Taco Night!

  1. Add beans, quinoa, broth, salsa, corn, cumin, sea salt and garlic to crock.
  2. Cover and crock on HIGH for 2 hours.
  3. After 2 hours, fluff quinoa with a fork.

Happy Crocking!
