This Southwest Chicken Quinoa Bowl is so easy to make and is a healthier take on a classic Southwest recipe!
The first time I ever tried quinoa I hated it.
Everyone I heard talking about quinoa had nothing but good things to say about it, but there was something definitely off with the quinoa I tasted. It was very bitter, and I had to force myself to swallow it.
Turns out, though, that when quinoa isn’t washed and prepared properly it retains a bitter taste from a natural substance called saponin. But with thorough rinsing, quinoa has a neutral, nutty taste.
