I think quinoa is higher in calories but has more protein and fiber than brown rice. I imagine brown rice would be perfectly fine in terms of taste, I chose quinoa partly because it cooks quite quickly and it holds sauce well, but I'm sure it wouldn't be all that different as long as the brown rice will suck in a bit of that sauce.
