Step by Step Method
Step 1
Add the quinoa and olive oil in a 2-quart saucepan with a tight-fitting lid, and place the pan over high heat. Swirl the quinoa in the pan to toast it evenly.
Step 2
When the grains are fragrant and crackle, remove from heat, immediately add in garlic, jalapeno, cumin, salt, and cocoa; stir 1 minute.
Step 3
Slowly add the broth (be careful; it might boil over). Put the pan over high heat, then bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, and cook, covered, for 15 minutes or until liquid is absorbed.
Step 4
Stir in the corn; cover and cook for 2 more minutes.
Step 5
Stir in scallions and lime juice.

Serve warm.
