Recipe Share - Quinoa and Black Beans

This may be one of the healthiest meals on the planet.  If you are unfamiliar with Quinoa - it is a nutty grain from South America and is high in protein.  It is super healthy.  You can find it in the rice aisle at your local supermarket and they even sell it at Costco.  My kids LOVE this recipe.  If you ask Taya her favorite meal - she will tell you Quinoa and Black Beans.  They ask for this on a regular basis.  I serve this alone as the whole meal...but we are not really into meat.  I have made it without cilantro when I did not have time to get to the store and it was still good, but it is best with the cilantro for that extra flavor.  Enjoy!
