EASY MEXICAN QUINOA
I was craving Mexican, but didn't have a whole lot in the house, rather than go shopping I threw this together and liked it so much I figured I should share the recipe. Next time I'm going to try adding corn with the tomatoes and kidney beans, perhaps a Mexican cheese blend, and Greek yogurt rather than sour cream. Also, I used the Allrecipes top-rated recipe for taco seasoning rather than a packet from the store.

Steps:
- Heat oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat; saute onion in hot oil until slightly softened, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in quinoa and taco seasoning; saute until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Pour water into quinoa mixture. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover the saucepan with a lid, and simmer for 15 minutes. Stir beans and tomatoes into quinoa mixture, cover the saucepan again with the lid, and simmer until quinoa is tender and water is absorbed, about 5 minutes more. Stir Cheddar cheese into quinoa, spoon into bowls, and top each with a dollop of sour cream.

SPICY KIDNEY BEAN TACOS
Vegetarian soft tacos with kick! From Bon Appetit, November 1996. Kidney beans have the perfect consistency for tacos. They are hearty, "meaty" and hold their shape well. Jalapeno-stuffed green olives were substituted for pimiento-stuffed; ground cumin was my contribution.

Steps:
- Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large saute pan.
- Add the onions and garlic and cook until the onions are translucent; stirring occasionally, approximately 5 minutes.
- Stir in the green olives, red wine (or red wine vinegar), chili powder and cumin. Stir in the drained kidney beans. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Steam the tortillas or heat on the top range element. To do this, set the burner to medium-high heat. Place 1 tortilla on the burner and cook until heated through and slightly charred, about 15 second per side. (Use tongs to flip the tortillas to avoid burning yourself!).
- Heat all the tortillas in this manner and keep covered on a warming tray.
- Tranfer the bean mixture to a large serving bowl. Set out the toppings of your choice and serve with the warm corn tortillas.
