Source of recipe: I wrote this recipe for my blog after meeting several vegans with soy allergies. No one should be denied the tangy, spiced chorizo love. It also answers the 'what to do with these leftover beans and qunioa' question, quite nicely. Cold quinoa works better than using the hot freshly cooked grain.

Preparation Time:

RE: How to give 5 stars; from what I can detect, where it says "change your rating:" look to the right, there is a box with numbers. Press your cursor on the arrow ^ or down button & then you can rate the recipe accordingly. After I did that it and pressed "go" it worked fine. Good luck!

I have done that twice now but nothing happens. ???? Not sure what's going one here.
