Ingredients:

Serving

1 1/2 cups water
1 cup quinoa
1/2 red bell peppers
1 small jalapeno, seeded and diced finely (optional ( leave it out if you do not like spicy food , add more or include some of the seeds if you )
1 small red onions
2 roma tomatoes, chopped
1 (15 oz) can pinto beans
1/2 tsp cumin
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1/2 cup salsa (fresh or homemade is best )
1 tbsp canola oil
1 lime , juice of
fresh ground black pepper
sea salt

Directions:

Heat the water to boiling in a 2-quart saucepan and add the quinoa. Lower the heat to medium-low and cover. Cook until the liquid is absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and cool.
When the quinoa has cooled, add the remaining ingredients. Taste and adjust the seasonings if necessary. You can serve it right away, but it's better to let the flavors marry in the refrigerator for a few hours.
