Amy on 2025-09-02 (5 stars): This is so simple. Just 5 ingredients. But very flavorful and easy. I really enjoyed this!
Laurie bower on 2024-01-31 (4 stars): It was good but needed some salt and lime to brighten it up. I also added a little corn black beans and quinoa it was delicious
Sandy on 2024-01-13 (5 stars): awesome, easy, fast and tasty; what more could you ask for :)
Judy on 2023-12-06 (5 stars): I have made this several times to add to my lentil tacos recipe and as a side with carne asada. We like the flavor and texture more than Spanish rice! I like to use a half and half mix of red and white quinoa. Favorite with the family.
