Loved this recipe...but next time will cut the quinoa in half..I have enough chili to feed an army.

Very healthy and easy to make. Be careful if you add the adobo sauce - I may have added too much because that taste stands out over others. Next time I may try to add more cinnamon as another poster recommended.

Very good. However, I added two chicken bouillon to give it more flavor, a few dashes of extra cinnamon to the actual sauce, and a few dashes more of salt to the sauce. My family loved. I would not add the Quinoia again though...It doesn't add anything to the recipe. Next time I will make it with seasoned rice.

did not have black beans, used northern white beans, Flavor was good but I think the texture would be better with black beans.

Easy to make, filling and healthy. I find that cooking quinoa the suggested amount of time can make it glumpy.

Where do you find the chili peppers in adobe sauce? And the adobe sauce?

Excellent variation on a chili recipe. Took it to a soup exchange and everyone loved it!

Probably my favorite chili of all time! I usually like to put cheese and sour cream in my chili, but this is so good, I don't put anything on it!! Even my kids ate it!
