-Scotch bonnet peppers are traditional but if you can't find any, use the same amount of habañero or more jalapeño or serrano (one whole chile of either of these instead of the half in the recipe). Most of the heat in the peppers are in the seeds and the white ribs, so if you can't take it too spicy, remove these parts.
-This recipe makes about 4 cups of cooked quinoa.
