This was the first time I have every tried quinoa and it was delicious. BF liked it too, and he hates cilantro. Kind of tasted like pico de gallo in rice. I used chick peas for black beans, key limes, and a large salad tomato with seeds removed. I think I found my new favorite grain. Thanks!

I had some Quinoa and was looking for a way to try it - but nothing complicated. I came across this recipe and although I had to substitute petite diced tomatoes for the cherry tomatoes and finely diced sweet white onions for the green onions, this still was really good. I'm a convert. I will use more quinoa in the future!
