I also used this a filling for stuffed peppers. To keep with the spanish flavor I used enchilada sauce on the bottom of my baking dish and added 1 lb. of lean ground turkey to the mixture. Very tasty!

This was great...I made stuffed peppers as suggested in the reviews. The only change was that I mixed in some shredded pepperjack cheese and half a can of corn right before stuffing.

This is a great alternative to spanish rice. I added some frozen corn & black beans and a little salt and it was great. I'd also recommend simmering UNcovered for the last 5 minutes.

Excellent and easy. Great side dish to any Mexican/Spanish meal. I also used canned diced tomatoes instead of tomatoes sauce.

This recipe is excellent! I had to cook it a little longer than 30 minutes to cook all of the water out, but it had great flavor. I added a can of corn and one of black beans, filled some green peppers with it and baked them in the oven, covered in cheese. I will definitely make this again!

This is my first time cooking and eating quinoa. I thought the taste was wonderful with the suggested changes from other reviews (I tripled the spices), plus added about 1/4 tsp salt. And although the taste was great, it was a little mushy. I think next time I will decrease the water to 2 1/4 cup. Still, I think it was great!

This was very easy and hands off to make. This was my first time using quinoa, but it made a believer out of me. I ate this on a tortilla with sour cream and salsa. I really liked it this way. My two year old gobbled it up on burritos. I will make again.

This was great!! I made a few changes. I used a can of diced tomatoes, yellow peppers instead of green, 1 1/4 C of chicken broth, I doubled the cumin and garlic powder, and a few dashes of salt and ground pepper. I stuffed green peppers with the mixture, baked for 20 minutes and sprinkled with shredded cheese. Served with black beans.

The BEST quinoa recipe ever! I gave it four stars because I used chilli pepper flakes instead of chilli pepper, and that made it really spicy! I loved it. And, my meat eating husband loved it too! But use chilli pepper if you don't love spicy.

My favorite quinoa recipe yet! I added extra spices, and red pepper flakes. Stuffed in green bell peppers that were boiled for 5-10 minutes on stove, then baked in oven all together for 30 min at 375. Turned out great and the bell peppers were a perfect balance between crunchy and soft.
