Notes

This recipe was prepared by Scott at Low-Carb Lunches .
We used a pre-cooked and seasoned packet of quinoa to speed up the process and make it quicker for lunch preparation. A simpler quinoa without the heavy sauce/seasoning would probably have been better. Leftover quinoa you have made yourself would be the best option.
