Southwestern Quinoa with Blackbeans

I found this recipe somewhere on the internet and its good and full of protein.

1/2 cup quinoa
1 cup water

1 1/2 tsp olive oil
2 tbsp onion (minced or diced)
2 cup of various colored bell peppers to make it look pretty
1 cup black beans

lime juice, cilantro (if desired), black pepper, and hot sauce to taste
1 1/2 cup corn

Rinse and cook quinoa (it helps to fry it a little first) in the water
Heat olive oil over medium heat in a skillet. Add onion and cook for about a minute. Add peppers, cover and saute until tender (3-5 minutes)
Add beans.
Add lime, cilantro, pepper, and hot sauce to taste
add corn and quinoa, then re-season for taste. Cook until heated and blended
