I absolutely loved this recipe and added it to my recipe collection - it's a keeper.
I was nervous about this recipe at first. I'm not usually one to rush into a can of green chilies. BUT I wanted to do something with the quinoa in my pantry and we were having chipotle-encrusted tilapia for dinner. So I needed something Latin. This dish was amazing. I was tempted to just add all the lime juice I got from one lime but gratefully stuck to the recipe. The amount was perfect and would have been overpowering otherwise. I didn't have the pumpkin seeds but didn't miss them. And had I seen the comment about the black beans I would have definitely added them. For a total shot in the dark this was a fantastic dish. The two friends I had over agreed!
Loved it! I thought all the flavors were amazing. I love cilantro and I love the pepitas. In my family these ingredients get used quite often so adding it to the quinoa seemed like a no brainer. I will be making this over and over again.
It's not really low-calorie but it tastes great! A perfect blend of flavors!
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.
Great with a can of black beans drained and stirred in. Good for packed lunches.
My husband likes it! Quinoa is on my husband's list of foods he only eats under protest. I like it so I keep trying to find preparations to change his mind. This is the first one that worked. I honestly think he only really likes it because of the green chilies but regardless Mr. Anti-Quinoa LIKES it! The pumpkin seeds definitely add some nice flavor and texture. This recipe does make quite a bit so we can often have it as a side at dinner a couple of nights and then still have some for a main-dish at lunch. I like that it doesn't take long to make. Pros: great flavors easy
How many grams in two thirds of a cup.I have seen this often.
