2 carrots, peeled and grated

3C cooked quinoa

Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium skillet over low heat. Scramble eggs and let cool.

Heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium high heat. Add garlic and onion, and cook, stirring often, until onions have become translucent, about 4-5 minutes.
