Quinoa Vegetarian Chili image

Found on Homemakers, this is an easy, and smaller portioned vegetarian quinoa chili. Qunioa has more protein than any other grain, as well as more nutrients! Make sure to rinse your quinoa well, as this will remove any residual bitter-tasting natural saponins coating.

Just made this chili and it's amazing! The quinoa gives it a nice texture and the vegetables are cooked perfectly. I added a bit of extra spice with some cayenne pepper and it was perfect. Definitely a keeper!

This chili was easy to make and really delicious. I used black beans instead of kidney beans, and it turned out great. I also added a bit of corn and chopped bell pepper. Will definitely make this again!
