Notes:
1.5 cups of Quinoa cooked in 3 cups water will yield the 3 cups cooked quinoa called for in recipe. Any color quinoa is fine but the red or black will be chewier than the white. I prefer cooking my own beans to the canned products but if you do choose canned be sure to rinse well! Feel free to substitute vegetables or add extras. If you are not fond of cilantro...parsley is a great substitute.
