This was just OK for us. It definitely reminded me that I'm on a diet. I've made dozens of CORE recipes and many with quinoa. This just needed spicing up a bit. We topped with ff sour cream and that helped. I also drained the corn (not stated), started layering in a large round casserole dish, but found this wasn't big enough. So, I had to carefully re-arrange it into a 9x13" glass pan, which meant I lost the layering effect. Thanks Whirlwind for a healthy dish!

What a really great recipe this is! I went with regular cheese (sharp cheddar and used a little less to keep the flavor but save on calories) and a little less salsa but otherwise followed this as written, and I loved the flavor so much! It was very much like Mexican food but without the usual guilt. Instead of one large pan, I split this in half into two 9" pie pans, put one in the oven and the other in the freezer unbaked (used hot water on the bottom of the pan once frozen to pop it out and to vacuum seal it). I cannot wait to have that other one that's in my freezer. 
Thank you for a healthy alternative for my cravings!
