Thats incorrect - quinoa is in fact a complete protein, however beans are not, but so long as you eat a good mixture of foods you'll easily get all of the amino acids you need, so that need not be the most important factor you consider in choosing one food over another. Quinoa has 8 grams of protein per cup, which isn't as protein dense as meat or soy products, but it is a little more than beans and rice.
