Quinoa makes a great substitute for white rice. It’s rich in protein and fiber which makes it perfect for low-bar diets. However, for this dish, it has extra calories but we ensure you that it’s filled with healthy ingredients. Serve up this southwestern inspired Quinoa and Black Bean Casserole as a side, with chips, in a tortilla or by itself.
