Excellent recipe! Thank you! I've been looking for good quinoa recipes to use the giant container of it that we got from Costco. Used fresh tomatoes and feta cheese. Added a kick with cayenne and cumin. Served over greens. Looking forward to leftovers!

I put in feta rather than the other kind of cheese and it worked great!

These were excellent and very unique! We ate them in tortillas and it was very good. As we couldn't get cotija cheese we used feta instead.

Very good and a flexible recipe. I didn't have the cotja cheese so I used some jalapeno jack cheese, diced. I used plain tomatoes - drained, as other reviewers said the dish got soggy. It would be easy to make it Italian, adding olives and canellini beans - or Greek - with olives and feta.

I just added what I had on hand (black beans) plus garlic, onion (no cotija handy) and followed the rest and it was DELISH! I also dashed a little cayenne in for heat, YUM.

We really enjoyed this salad! We cut it in 1/2, and used greek feta. Also, b/c we are in Canada, had to improvise with tomatoes...so, for 1/2 recipe - we did 2 romas and a 1/2 of a 114ml tin of diced green chilis. Did the trick, will def. make again!

Loved the flavor! Even my husband who sometimes doesn't care for quinoa liked it. I used bottled lime juic and substituted shredded mexican for the cotija. Honestly it didn't even need cheese. I also didn't wait for the quinoa to cook and just added the other ingredients to it once it was done! Yummy!

So good! And easy to make :) We thought it tasted like a super-healthy version of a Chipotle burrito. I cooked the quinoa with a scoop of chicken stock instead of salt, used black beans instead of garbanzo, and substituted mozzarella cheese for the cotija.
