Rinse the quinoa, then place quinoa and 2-1/2 cups water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Decrease heat to a simmer, and cover pan. Simmer until quinoa has absorbed the water, approximately 10 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to sit, covered, for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, toss together lime juice, olive oil, cumin, garlic, salt and pepper. Add cooked quinoa. Divide among 4 bowls and arrange chicken, black beans, corn and cabbage over quinoa.
