This recipe was a bit too spicy for me, but I still enjoyed it. I would recommend using less chili powder if you don't like spicy food.

I followed the recipe exactly and the quinoa turned out mushy. I think I will try cooking it for less time next time.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used more spices or herbs.

Easy to make and so tasty! I used a pre-made quinoa mix and it still turned out great. The vegetables were cooked perfectly and the spices were just right.

This quinoa dish was a hit! The combination of spices and vegetables gave it a delicious and zesty flavor. I especially loved the addition of the lime juice, which brightened up the dish and gave it a refreshing taste.
