This was good, but I wasn't wild about it. It was a bit bland for my taste because the acidity of the tomatoes overwhelmed the spices. Next time I'll at least double the spices. It was fast and easy though, so I'll try it again with some modifications. Thanks for sharing!

    This was very good! It has a sweet and spicy flavour to it - which is really nice. It might be nice to add some cannellini or something to make it a vegetarian main course!

    I thought this was a great way to prepare quinoa. I didn't have tomatoes with green chilies, so I used a can of tomatoes and about half a can of green chilies. I only used about 1/8 tsp. of chili powder in hopes that my children would eat it. I thought it was great, but the young ones didn't care for it.
