I have had one similar, but a lot easier to make! Just put everything all together in 2 qt casserole dish, quinoa uncooked, cover and cook on 350 for 30 min. Remove, stir, and put back in 15-20 min until all liquid absorbed. i also put in black beans and frozen corn. Add different veggies every time I make it. SUPER EASY this way.

Love the taste of this! I think I'll have the leftovers for breakfast tomorrow! I'll start my day off in an exciting way!
I loved this! I followed exactly as written including using a fresh diced jalapeno. I did get a bit nervous when the quinoa took longer to cook than I'm used to but it came out perfect! I too added a can of rinsed and drained black beans. Of course to make it unhealthy I added a small dollop of sour cream and a teaspoon of shredded cheddar cheese to mine. I doubt the bf will touch it (he's weary of quinoa) but perhaps if I drown his in cheese and sour cream he just might touch it. Thanks for the recipe!
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong but it has a texture my family just doesn't like.
I Loved this recipe and it could be used as a main dish or side...here's how. I sauteed several small sweet peppers along with a red onion added the quinoa to toast it. After a few minutes a added a full cup of salsa (didn't have the Rotel) also didn't have the taco seasoning but used 2tsp. of cumin...cook as directed. Once it was done I topped with a large amount of fresh cilantro and diced green onions. It's great as a side dish this way...if you want a main dish add a protein (chicken and black beans or?) top with melted cheese or add it all together in a burrito. It's also great with diced avocado/sour cream on top. Thanks so much for this recipe I made a huge batch!
My wife and family loved it. If you wanna make this a meal you can sautee some shrimp put it on top when the quinoa is done then sprinkle it with cheese and bake at 350 for 15 min or until cheese is golden
Delish! Make sure to use low-sodium chicken broth or it will be too salty.
Loved this recipe! It was full of flavor and quite filling. It took a little more time for the quinoa to soak up the liquid but overall it worked really well.
So good! I added a can of black beans (rinsed and drained) and 1 cup of frozen corn. This is the first time I ever made quinoa and I loved it! Great recipe that I'm sure I'll make again!
