  2. While quinoa cooks, heat margarine in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add tuna and lemon juice; cook for 2-3 minutes, gently breaking apart the tuna with a fork.
  3. Push tuna to one side of the skillet. In the empty space, scramble eggs until cooked through.
  4. Add cooked quinoa, spinach, lemon pepper seasoning, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Stir to combine thoroughly.
  5. Heat through for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add sliced mushrooms during the last 2 minutes of cooking. Serve immediately.
