Quinoa TacosBy María HummelThis delicious Mexican dish is easy, fast, and convenient. To make the tacos, you can use our Spicy Quinoa “Taco Meat”, or any substitute meat you want.Gallo PintoBy María HummelThis simple but appetizing dish is usually eaten for breakfast in both Costa Rica and Nicaragua, although it is also served at other times of the day. It can be done with black or red beans. It is usually accompanied with corn tortillas or male bananas if desired, but for a more balanced meal for diabetics, we recommend accompanying it with a steamed salad or vegetables.Italian Chickpea and Quinoa SoupBy María HummelAlthough quinoa is of South American origin, it complements very well with the Italian seasoning of this recipe. This soup is perfect for cold or rainy days, but it will delight palates at any time of the year.Honduras BaleadasBy María HummelBaleadas are one of the most appreciated dishes of Honduran cuisine. Because it consists of an omelet stuffed with beans and a variety of other ingredients, they look a lot like Mexican tacos and burritos, although with a peculiar Honduran touch. Because they are simple and easy to prepare, they are an excellent choice for a quick breakfast or lunch.Cashew Sour CreamBy María HummelThis cream is fantastic for any dish that has sour cream. For a cream with a more neutral flavor you can simply skip the lemon juice. When refrigerated it is kept in good condition for at least four to six days.
