Preparation
Add water and quinoa to a small pot. Cover and bring to a simmer. Turn heat to low and simmer 12–15 minutes until cooked through.
In a separate larger pot, heat oil over medium high heat. Add beef and onions. Cook 2–3 minutes until beef is starting to brown. It doesn’t need to be cooked through.
While quinoa and beef are cooking, measure out salt and spices. Add spices and canned tomatoes to the beef and onions. Simmer 3–5 minutes.
Add cooked quinoa and peas. Let cook 1 minute until peas are warmed.
Serve over white rice, with fresh naan, or with tortillas.
