For a smokier flavor, consider adding a pinch of smoked paprika along with the chili powder. If you prefer a spicier dish, leave some of the seeds in the jalapeño, or add an extra pinch of red pepper flakes. To make this dish even more vibrant, try using a mix of red, yellow, and orange bell peppers, diced small. Serve this quinoa dish as a main course or as a flavorful side dish. It's also delicious served with a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt.
