1/2 t. Natural honey or Organic maple syrup
4 T. Chipotle Sauce (from previous post) or more to taste for extra spice
1 T. nutritional yeast (optional)

Heat oil over medium heat. Add onion and garlic. Let brown lightly (don't let the garlic brown too much, it'll taste bitter if you're not careful). Add quinoa. Mix into garlic and onion. Stir some while it cooks. After a couple minutes add in rest of ingredients. Stir 1ce. Cover. Bring to a boil, reduce heat. Let cook til moisture absorbed and cooked through. About 15 minutes. Top with extra chipotle sauce or chopped cilantro, if desired.

* I cook for the kids too, so I use less chipotle sauce then this says, but top mine with quite a bit. Enjoy!
