Instructions: Note: quinoa uses the same proportions of grain to water and cooking time as white rice does, so they can be cooked together easily. Be sure to rinse the quinoa before cooking to remove the bitter coating the grains have. Use a fine strainer, or line a strainer with a coffee filter.

Put rice, quinoa and water into a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes. Saute onion, green pepper, and garlic briefly, using liquid of choice (or cook on High in microwave for about 2 minutes). Add to rice with rest of ingredients, and put into a 2 qt casserole dish. Bake at 350F for about 20 minutes.

Could top with low/fatfree cheese or sour cream.

NOTES : I made up this recipe last night. I already had the rice and quinoa
cooked from earlier in the week, so the rest of it went together pretty
fast. You could adjust the spices to taste. This wasnt all that spicy
as it was.
