Notes: THIS WAS THE BEST CHILI EVER. The quinoa is great added protein to go with the beans. I used all organic ingredients, but left out cilantro and lime juice since I did not have them in fridge. Used himalyan pink salt, and a dash of red pepper flakes. Made everything in slow cooker, added cooked quino into cooker during last 10 minutes to infuse it with flavor. I am going to freeze multiple containers worth for lunches at work.
