Quinoa Beef Chili
Quinoa Beef Chili has the taste of something rich and decadent, but provides long-lasting energy to get you through whatever life throws at you. Quinoa is a rare grain that is both high in fiber and protein, so it’s the perfect support food for tough workouts.
CHEF’S TIP
This doesn’t have to be a standalone meal. It’s hearty enough to serve at parties as a dip along with corn chips or toasted pita wedges. While still piping hot, you can add a sprinkle of crowd-pleasing mozzarella or pepper jack cheese.
