Bright & spicy seasonings showcase case the quinoa, beans and corn. Adding lime and cilantro just takes it over the top! If you have leftovers, you might try what I'm going to do tomorrow - add the taco filling to an evening bowl of Roasted Red Pepper & Tomato soup. Read more I love adding unexpected flavors and textures to the smooth warming soup. Wine? I had a Harbinger Merlot and it was very good. See less

- I cooked 1 cup of quinoa to 2 cups stock/water and used just 1 1/2 cups, so I have another almost 1 1/2 cups to play with in another dish…..stay tuned.
