Ingredients

    1c Whole Grain Quinoa
    1/2c Salsa
    1c Corn (frozen or canned drained)
    Cilatro to taste
    5oz Plain Greek Yogurt (Fat free)
    4c Fat Free Chicken or Vegetable Broth (I used low sodium but nutritional values are for regular FF broth)

Directions

Boil broth. Add quinoa and bring to a low boil for 15 min. stiring occassionally. Add salsa and corn and return to a simmer. If using frozen once the corn is heated, or about 2 min if using canned, add cilatro, salt, pepper to taste. I then garnished with the greek yogurt.

Can be set up like a taco bar too- garnish with extra peppers, tomatoes, avocado, yogurt, sour cream, possibilities are endless.
