"Excellent recipe. Quinoa adds a slightly different taste and texture than rice -- nuttier. It's very good."

"Excellent! I discovered quinoa only about 2 years ago, and I love it. It's not only simple to cook, but it's also incredibly good for you. The light fluffy texture of this powerhouse of a grain is wonderful, but it does need some sprucing up in flavor, and this recipe does that perfectly."

"Love this recipe! My little town doesn't have quinoa, so I substitute cracked wheat bulgur (and I use chicken broth because that's what I have on hand). I also add a chopped green pepper and a can or two of diced tomatoes, extra cumin and garlic. I serve this with Salasa Chicken (super awesome recipe). With the leftovers, I use it as taco or fajita topping in place of salsa. We don't really make things over and over in our house, but this is an every week dish!"

"I was excited to find this recipe. Black beans and quinoa are nutritional powerhouses and in my effort to follow a whole foods based diet (staying away from processed foods) I was pleased to run across this recipe. It was easy and relatively inexpensive to make and is a hearty meal."

"Many reviewers reported the dish ended up mushy or soupy. Quinoa is a very, very delicate grain, so I modified the recipe as follows: I cooked the quinoa, spices and broth in a separate saucepan, according to package instructions. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, I sauted the onions, and garlic. Then I added the beans/corn. When onions/beans/corn were heated through, I VERY gently tossed in the cooked quinoa & cilantro, being careful not to stir too much. Turned out great! I hope this is helpful for other readers."

"This is excellent. I havd been using quinoa with steel oats for a while but this is now my new fav. I didn't have corn so I replaced it with sauted mushrooms and it was just great. I will make this often."

"This is the first time making quinoa and I had my reservations how this would taste. But it is great!! Packed full of flavor. I did not soak the quinoa and I don't think it needed to be soaked. Very good, thank you!"

"I've made this a handful of times, and it's turned out great each time. I think it's good both hot and cold, but my young kids ONLY like it cold. I only use 1 can of black beans, as many have suggested. Otherwise, I keep it exactly the same!"

"I seriously love this recipe. The first time I made it, though, I burned the quinoa (not good). But subsequent trials have been successful. The cumin with the fresh cilantro is awesome."

"Delicious! Added pine nuts half way through my 2nd bowl of it and it took it to a new level. First time I've had quinoa and it won't be the last! The onion seemed like a lot, but it wasn't. I added some ground flax seed."

"LOVED LOVED LOVED this! First time having quinoa and what a wonderful introduction! All of my kids loved it and my youngest who's 5 had 4ths he loved it so much! I did make two substitutions from the original recipe and that was chicken broth as that's what I had on hand. I don't think it would honestly change the flavor all that much either way. And I used olive oil instead of vegetable oil. This is a keeper and a new regular to our meal rotation!"

"Sooooo good. I doubled the cumin but otherwise stuck exactly to the recipe. I will difinitely make this again. It is a great "what shall we make for dinner" pantry menu."

"I loved it, so did my husband, he just doesn't like as much cilantro as I do. I mixed red and white quinoa for more color, added red peppers and green onions and a zucchini. Will make again and again."

"Another delicious vegetarian recipe that hits the spot while showcasing the flavor of quinoa."

"Absolutely amazing. i did not have Chayenne Pepper and substituted it for Chili Powder instead. It was still good"
