Como fazer Hot Quinoa Salad

Chop 4 slices of bacon into 1/2-inch pieces. Add to a large skillet over medium heat along with 1/2 cup chopped onion. Cook until bacon is crispy and onions are softened, about 8-10 minutes.
Drain off excess bacon grease, leaving about 1 tablespoon in the skillet. Stir in 1 cup quinoa, 1-2 teaspoons chopped green chilies (adjust to your spice preference), and 2 cups vegetable broth (or chicken broth for extra flavor).
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until all the broth is absorbed and the quinoa is tender.
Fluff the quinoa with a fork and serve warm. Garnish with extra green chilies or a sprinkle of chopped fresh cilantro, if desired.
