1. Drain and rinse the beans

3. Prepare the quinoa by rinsing in a fine sieve for 30 seconds. In a small pot, bring a cup of lightly salted water to boil. Add 1/2 cup of quinoa, reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for about 10-15 minutes until liquid is absorbed and the quinoa is tender. Remove from heat and set aside for a few minutes. Fluff the quinoa with a fork to separate the grain.
