Follow these easy steps for prepping your ingredients: Cook the Quinoa Quinoa is a quick-cooking whole grain with a nutty taste. This step-by-step guide with photos shows you how to cook quinoa three different ways: on the stovetop, in a rice cooker and in the Instant Pot. Cook the Brown Rice A simple ratio is all you need to make perfect brown rice every time: 1 cup of brown rice to 2 1/2 cups of water. Follow our method on how to cook brown rice perfectly on the stovetop. You can also use instant brown rice to save time. Make the Chili-Lime Chicken This easy chili-lime chicken takes about 15 to 18 minutes to cook in the oven. The chicken is roasted on a foil-lined baking sheet, making cleanup a breeze after cooking. Julienne the Jicama Jicama is a nutrient-dense root vegetable that's sweet and crunchy. You'll need to cut off the thick brown skin using a sharp knife (a vegetable peeler likely won't cut deep enough) before cutting. To julienne jicama, slice them into rounds about 1/4-inch thick, stack about 3 to 4 rounds, then slice the rounds into thin, matchstick-size pieces. How to Serve To reheat, microwave on High until warm. Serve with diced avocado, lime wedges and hot sauce.
