Spanish Style Quinoa

This is delicious. Literally phenomenal--one of my new very favorite side dishes, SO yummy!

Ingredients:
1 TBSP vegetable oil
1/2 cup uncooked quinoa
1 medium onion finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 small green bell pepper chopped
1 8oz can tomato sauce
1 1/4 cups water
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon ground cumin

Directions:
1. Heat oil in a large sauce pan over medium high heat. Stir in quinoa, onion, garlic and green pepper.
2. Cook and stir for 5-10 minutes until onion is tender and quinoa is lightly toasted.
3. Stir in tomato sauce & water, then season with chili powder, garlic powder, and cumin.
4. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium low, cover and simmer until quinoa is tender and liquid is absorbed, about 30 minutes.
Stir quinoa occasionally as it cooks.
