Super Easy Southwest-Style Quinoa (Cooked in Rice Cooker)

I made this recipe up on a whim because it sounded good. This is a quick recipe for a busy person who doesn’t have the time to spend in the kitchen. Less than 5 minutes to prep, the rice cooker cooks it in about an hour, and it will keep it warm without scorching for several hours. I have a large rice cooker that has a steamer basket with it. You can add sweet corn to the mix. Top with chicken or mix in ground beef, pork, or venison. Very versatile. Serve with sour cream, salsa, and tortilla chips. My kids love this meal.
