Chipotle Quinoa with Swiss Chard

With some Swiss chard in the refrigerator, I embarked on a mission to make a super easy meal. Let's see...Swiss chard, black beans, and quinoa -- perfect!  I used a package of Keen One Quinoa in Chipotle flavor, mixed it with some Swiss chard and beans and made a quick, tasty meal. What I love about the Keen One quinoa packages is that they already have spices included so you don't have to add any. If you use plain quinoa, you will need to add more seasoning to this dish. Try it for yourself!
