Caro Hodgin says:

Essy meal prep. Love making quinoa in my pressure cooker - perf every time.

Katie Hason says:

This bowl was so delicious! I now love this combination with quinoa, better than using rice. The cumin and chipotle chili powder is so flavorful. Such a great weeknight dinner.

Laura Griffin says:

Very good quinoa bowl! I've made this recipe twice already and used shrimp the second time. Simple and delicious, and can be prepped the night before (without chopping the avocado).

Alex Cabral says:

I love this recipe because I can make two separate dishes essentially, chicken and quinoa, in a single pressure cooker. I used chicken breast instead of thighs, pinto beans, and diced tomato tomatoes for topping. This is one of my favorite bowls, for sure.

Dominique M says:

Love these bowls, I make them for my meal prep at least once a month. I usually use chicken breast, but everyone in awhile use pork.
