Easy, quick, & flavorful. It's 4 generous servings if it's the only item being served, but if a side dish, it is much more than 4 servings. - 8/21/17

I found this recipe somewhere else about a year ago and love it. However, since I can't always find avocado, I will leave it out, I omit the salt and pepper as well as the jalepeno at times as well. - 5/6/17

I've made this numerous times and it's delicious. With or without jalepeno, using white or red quinoa, the recipe is so easy and always delicious. I highly recommend it. I always keep black beans and fire roasted tomatoes, broth, quinoa and corn in my cabinets so I can whip this up whenever. - 2/27/16
