Quinoa is one of my favorite foods, how about you?
Grain-like, but not really a grain, quinoa has a wonderfully nutty flavor. It's also happily very good for you, being high in protein, fiber, magnesium, calcium, and iron.
While quinoa is indigenous to the Andes, not Mexico, it works beautifully with Mexican and Southwestern flavors, and especially well with cheese, in particular farmers cheese, a soft, mild cheese like queso fresco or fresh mozzarella.
