Once you smell the fragrant aroma, add the water, turn the heat up to high and let the mixture simmer until the quinoa is cooked (you will see white rings around each seed). 4. Meanwhile drain and rinse the black beans and cut the corn off the cobb. 5. Add the diced onions to the quinoa and continue to cook until onions are translucent. 6.
