For an extra layer of flavor, toast the quinoa in a dry pan for a few minutes before adding the water. Add a squeeze of lime juice and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro for a brighter, more vibrant taste. Feel free to customize this dish with your favorite Mexican-inspired toppings, such as avocado, salsa, or a dollop of sour cream.
