Notes

It’s not essential, but cooking the quinoa a day in advance makes it easier to work with in the skillet because it’s not so sticky. I used spicy homemade black beans that were made with garlic, onion, and lots of hot peppers. If you are using canned beans and you like your Mexican food to pack a punch, you might want to consider adding some sauteed diced onion, garlic, or jalapeño to the quinoa black bean mixture.
