Family friendly, easy, nutritious and delicious! This slow cooker mexican quinoa bowl is the perfect meal to make any night of the week. It’s bursting with delicious healthy ingredients. All you have to do is prep all the ingredients, throw them in a slow cooker, then walk away. It’s that simple! If you’ve seen my other recipes you may realize that I’m all about simple, easy and quick meals, and this recipe is no different!

This dish is great on its own in a bowl topped with fresh avocado or guacamole or you can easily enjoy it in corn taco shells or on top of corn chips. Get creative with what you fancy. I love it just as it is with freshly chopped avo. It makes quite a large portion so you’ll easily be able to feed 5-6 people or more if you’re serving it to your little ones.
