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.

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!
