This makes a TON and we eat off it for days. We had it last night with blue corn chips. The corn chips are the most unhealthy thing about it, but as long as you don't go nuts with the chips, this meal is probably one of the healthies things you'll ingest. Quinoa is so good for you.
Make it this week, you won't regret it.
Thanks! I just bought some Quinoa last week. I've been looking for a reason to do something with it.
