Colorful, overloaded, dinner bowls have become a favorite of mine. There is something about the beautiful hues and the variety of flavors that gets me excited. 

It also makes me so happy when recipes that are so simple and full of flavor come together quickly and the entire family devours it.

These hearty bowls are jam-packed with quinoa and “decorated” with all my favorite taco toppings. You can pile on anything you like in a regular taco. I like to sauté some peppers and onions for this bowl. 

And it wouldn’t be a taco bowl without black beans and corn. We tried some seasoned and spicy grilled cod this time around. I made a dry rub full of taco flavor and dipped my cod pieces in the mix. 

After allowing my olive oil coated grill pan to get very hot, I grilled both sides of the fish, undisturbed, for several minutes. I love this grill pan for nights that I just don’t want to fire up the outdoor grill.

Then it was time to pile on my toppings and chow down!

This meal would be so tasty with my Spicy Mexican Mule!
