1 cup quinoa, rinsed and drained
1 ¾ cups vegetable broth
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

This recipe was a bit too time-consuming for me. I think I'll look for a simpler recipe next time.

I followed the recipe exactly but my dish turned out dry. I think I'll add a bit more liquid next time.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for me. I think I'll use less chili powder next time.

The quinoa was a bit undercooked for my taste. I think I'll cook it for a few extra minutes next time.

I found this recipe to be a bit too salty. I think next time I'll use less chorizo or maybe rinse it before cooking.

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

I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of chorizo, but I'm so glad I did! The chorizo flavor was not overpowering at all and it really complemented the quinoa. I will definitely be making this again.
