Join the discussionLove this, it looks and sounds excellent, thanks!
Do you mean 1/2 cups picante or 1.2 cups? Thanks, looking forward to trying this soon!
Good eye. It should be 1/2 cups picante. I will get that changed right away.
I cooked this up this morning for lunch. My first attempt at making quinoa and this recipe is awesome! Sooo delicious and healthy. Thank you!
Since I had them on hand, I also added some fresh cilantro and lime juice.
I’m glad you liked it. Quinoa is one of my favorites!
When this recipe printed out with the Gluten and Dairy free October plan, it told me 1.33 cups of jalapenos! I’m glad I thought it was wrong and came to check here.Everything else I’ve made seems to be right and we’ve all liked what we’ve tried so far, thank you!
Recipe card still calls for 1.33 cups (for 4 servings).
Hi Eve, I just corrected the recipe card so it should be accurate now.
Just wanted to clarify how much corn _ is it one 1/5 cup
Or one 1 1/5 cup?
Thanks for catching that Maureen! I have updated to reflect using 1 1/4 cups of corn.
Oh, my, this is fantastic! I had black beans with jalepenos and medium salsa, so I didn’t add any more jalepenos. It’s delicious, and I made it a complete Trim Healthy Mama meal by serving it over chicken breast! Thanks for sharing!!!
