Meatless Monday: Quinoa with Black Beans and Cilantro

Last month I promised to make Quinoa with Black Beans and Cilantro, and I finally got around to doing it.  Minus the chopping, which always takes me ages (even with the help of a Slap Chop and food processor), the recipe isn't too difficult and took about 50 minutes.  I substituted olive oil for the vegetable oil, 1 teaspoon of ground red pepper for the 2 teaspoons of chili powder and used a sweet yellow onion instead of a white onion.  The dish was still delicious, even when I reheated it today for lunch.  Definitely a great healthy recipe.
