Quinoa with Latin Flavors

Will not make it again.

Quinoa's great! I add it to bread stuffing to make it healthier. I really enjoyed this recipe as a hot side vegetable. The toasted pepitas really took it over the top. Even better was eating it the next day, cold like a salad. I mixed in some left over chicken fajita and a dollop of creamy poppy seed salad dressing. It would probably be good with Ranch Dressing, too. I enjoyed the crunch of the chopped iceberg lettuce and bite-sized pieces of chicken, caramelized onions and peppers. I'd serve it hot too, minus the lettuce. Another way I might use this recipe is to stuff it in a chili with a chunk of Monterey Jack cheese...Chili Rellenos style. Thanks for this very versatile recipe.

This was good!This was really good. I only had about a half cup of cilantro on hand and used just 1 tablespoon of lime juice. I love cilantro and I think 1/2 cup was ok.I added a can of canned shrimp, it was great!

Flavorful I am not a huge fan of grains, but I have to admit that this was very flavorful. One of my favorite ingredients in this recipe was the toasted pepitas. They were a great addition to this recipe. This recipe made more than three of us could eat, so next time I would definitely cut it in half.

Awesomeeee recipe!!! The only problem is that the lime you can put in is pretty touchy. Mine came out tasting too limey, but that was my only complaint- so easy, and so good for you!!

I absolutely loved this recipe and added it to my recipe collection - it's a keeper.

Great with a can of black beans drained and stirred in. Good for packed lunches.

It's not really low-calorie, but it tastes great! A perfect blend of flavors!
