Quinoa Taco Bake

New favorite thing. Soooooooooo yummy! There really isn't anything else I can say about it other than I'm throwing in some fresh peppers and onions next time. I'm sure this would be fabulous vegetarian too! Just include all the seasonings on the veggies instead of in the ground turkey.
