Place a little vegetable oil in a pan or pot. Add the quinoa and water over high heat until it boils. Once it boils, reduce to low heat and let it simmer for 15 minutes until the water evaporates. Stir the quinoa several times. Chop the vegetables into small pieces (for the red tomato, it is preferable to remove the seeds). Place the onion, cilantro, tomato, chili (if using), and finally the quinoa in a bowl. Mix all the ingredients well. Add salt to taste, the 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and the juice of two lemons. Let it cool down and it's ready.
