Give it a large stir. 4 Pour in the liquid, put the lid on, and bring it to a boil. Then turn the heat down to low and let it simmer for 20-23 minutes or until all the liquid is absorbed. 5 Let it sit for 5 minutes or so and fluff with a fork. Right before serving stir in the fresh cilantro. 6 Spoon the Mexican quinoa into bowls and garnish with fresh cilantro, avocado, and scallions. Serve with wedges of lime.View original recipe
