Black Bean and Tomato Quinoa

This is one of my favorite stand-alone quinoa recipes. I could eat it as a main dish, Eric considers it more of a side. It's really quick to make, though, and I really like it.

Black Bean and Tomato Quinoa

1 cup uncooked quinoa
2 cups chicken stock
1 tsp salt
2 tbsp lime juice
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp vegetable oil
1 tsp sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 tomato, diced

Bring quinoa, stock, and salt to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 15 minutes (or cook in a rice cooker).

Whisk together lime juice, oils, sugar, salt and pepper. Toss with cooked quinoa, beans and tomato.
