Ingredients used in Quinoa Burrito Bowl

I have used 5 simple ingredients to make this DUMP & COOK INSTANT POT QUINOA BURRITO BOWL recipe.

1. Quinoa – Since this grain is rich in protein, B Vitamins, dietary fiber, and complex carbs, it has gained popularity amongst health-conscious people. You may purchase Quinoa from your local store or order quinoa from here.
2. Black Beans – These beans are commonly used in Latin & South American cuisine. The beans are also rich in protein, dietary fiber and minerals. I have used low sodium canned Black Beans in the recipe. And I always wash my canned beans under cold water before using in the recipe. You can order Black Beans here.
3. Taco Seasoning – Since mine is a TEX MEX food loving family, I always keep my pantry stocked with TACO SEASONING, and FAJITA SEASONING. Make sure that it is Gluten-free to make Gluten-free Burrito bowls.
4. SALSA (MEDIUM HOT & CHUNKY) – This is another pantry staple in my house. We finish bottles of it every month. You may use mild or hot salsa as well. I suggest using chunky to add texture to the recipe. Oder Medium Chunky Salsa here.
5. Water & Salt to taste are the other ingredients to make this recipe.
