Sauté the garlic and jalapeno in the oil in a large skillet over medium heat for about 2 minutes or until slightly soft. Add seasonings and sauté lightly.

Stir in the rest of the ingredients and stir to mix well. Bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat and simmer until the quinoa is cooked through, about 20 minutes. Serve warm with fresh-diced avocado.
