1
Toast the red quinoa in an ungreased 10-inch skillet over medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Pour the toasted quinoa into a strainer and rinse. Set aside by resting the strainer over a clean bowl.
2
In the same skillet, heat up 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers, about 2 minutes, then saute the diced yellow onion for 4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3
Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the store-bought taco seasoning and cook for one minute to bloom the spices, stirring constantly.
4
Add the rinsed quinoa, the chunky salsa, and the vegetable broth, then stir.
5
Cover with a lid and bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 20 minutes. Stir, then simmer uncovered for 5 minutes more or until the extra liquid has evaporated.
6
Remove the skillet from the heat. Cover and let it rest for 10 minutes. Stir in 2 tablespoons of freshly squeezed lime juice. Fluff with a fork and serve while still hot.
