"This is a unique side dish which is low in carbohydrates, but satisfying. It went very well with a pork roast, and the next night my husband asked for the leftovers to eat with his fish."

Directions

Rinse quinoa. Transfer to a saute pan and cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until dried, about 1 minute. Add oil; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Add garlic; cook until grain begins to brown, about 1 minute more. Mix in diced tomatoes, zucchini, broth, water, sun-dried tomatoes, salt, and pepper.
Bring to a boil, cover, and reduce heat to a simmer. Continue cooking until liquid is absorbed, about 10 minutes more. Add Mexican cheese blend; fluff quinoa with a fork.
