I absolutely love this recipe! Such an easy dinner, and making extra spiced quinoa and black beans ahead of time means making this salad for lunch. It’s super similar to one of my favorite salads at By Chloe, and I add agave instead of maple syrup to keep with that vibe, but so delicious.

I liked this very much!
Though I made some modifications to the original recipe. I only found mixed quinoa, not only red. I did not have almond milk on hand and we are not vegans, so I used up the sour cream sitting in my frigde 😉
I also did not do the strips, but used tortilla chips instead 😉
Very interesting salad, I will definitely do it again!

i finally made this and it is amazing. i can’t decide if i like the taco “meat” or the ranch better, both are incredible and will be a part of my normal meal rotation. Thank you!!

I made this recipe yesterday for a memorial day party and it was a big hit! Multiple people asked for the recipe. The cooling jalapeno ranch combined with the spiced quinoa and crunchy tortilla strips is delicious. I kicked it up a notch with fresno chili peppers, chipotle powder, pepitas and avocado. Thanks!!

In reply to J Willis. I bet they're spicier down there! :) Glad to hear the sauce was great with the yogurt.

In reply to Jeanine Donofrio. You know..we just moved to Atlanta from Columbus, OH and our jalapeño's in Ohio never packed this much heat. The sauce was fine but I used chobani greek yogurt for the sauce instead of the almond milk and chopped almonds since I have a tree nut allergy; I wonder if that's what cooled the sauce down. It was the chopped jalapeño's that we put on top of the bowl that were too hot.

In reply to J Willis.

depending on where & when they were grown, I’ve noticed that their spiciness can vary a LOT. When we lived in Austin, they were always really spicy, here in Chicago, I find them pretty wimpy (at least the ones that I find in regular grocery stores). I try to always leave a range when it’s being blended into a sauce – was 1/2 jalapeño in the sauce too much?

Just made this tonight for dinner and it came out pretty well. My only complaint is that our jalapeño’s were too spicy! Even without the seeds, my husband and I couldn’t eat them! Not sure why they were packing so much heat! Great dish!
