   This looks like a wonderful recipe! I can't wait to try it. Do you have any nutritional information to go along with this recipe? That would be great.
2. Alice says:

   Look delicious!! Would I be able to replace quinoa with brown rice and still bake it in the same way?
3. Amber Reder says:

   I replaced it with brown rice yesterday and it worked great!
4. Mickey says:

   Are the black beans rinsed and drained?

   We usually rinse and drain our black beans.

   I made this the other night. I totally expected a mini family revolt, as we tend to not like "things together" i.e. casserole style. The pre-dinner discussion was no one had eaten it, including the cook, so we were "going to try it, and if we didn't like it, we could express that and no one would have hurt feelings. I wanted an easy and fast cooking experience. We changed several things to make this recipe work for our family. We used ground sirloin instead of turkey, frozen brown rice (pre-microwaved for 3 minutes) instead of quinoa (we only used 1 1/2 cups because that is what came in the package), peeled and deseeded, then diced the zucchini and pre-microwaved it for 2 minutes (to jump start the cooking time), left out the red pepper, drained 1 can pinto beans instead of black ones, used the salsa (added it to the meat and wish I had added the taco seasoning to the meat with it to get it to pre-dissolve better; so, as not to have as strong of a chili powder hit as ours had. We also added two cups of frozen yellow corn pre-microwaved for 5 minutes. Added about 3 tablespoons of butter for richness and we did doubled plus the cheese on top and added a dallop of sour cream to each serving (and some even had ranch dressing as a topper). We mixed the ingredient (minus the sour cream all together and baked it for 30 minutes. The vote was to have warmed leftovers in a warmed flour tortilla and to add this recipe occasionally to the dinner lineup. Pleasantly happy with the outcome. Even my picky spouse voted for it again. Happy and surprised indeed!

   I was hoping for this as well.

   I can't find the nutrition information on the web page, but it's in the source code. Press ctrl + U and scroll down to about line 400.
9. Natalie says:

   Is it 2 cups dry quinoa or cooked? Think I added too much!
10. Lori says:

    I'm wondering if you would be able to add serving size to your recipe. The nutritional values are posted in them but never the serving size. Thank you for sharing your cooking talents with the world. :)
11. Jen says:

    I was wondering this, too! My quinoa turned into four cups cooked. I only added about 2/3 of it to the mix because it seemed like too much. Any insights anyone?
12. Lisa says:

    Hi there. Is the 2C of quinoa cooked? Thank!
13. Momma Cyd says:

    Yes, 2 cups cooked.
14. Lisa Foley says:

    Can I use cauliflower rice instead?
15. Momma Cyd says:

    Are you thinking to use cauliflower rice in place of the quinoa? We haven't tried this recipe with cauliflower rice. I'm sure it would work. You would want it cooked before adding it in.

    This was the best thing I have eaten all summer. Used my homemade salsa for extra flavor. Should be on the front page of you website!
