Bring water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add quinoa and lower heat to medium low. Cover and cook 15 minutes (or until water is absorbed). Meanwhile, chop tomato, onion, apricots and cilantro. Roast almonds under the broiler for 3 minutes, careful not to burn them. Once roasted, allow almonds to cool before coarsely chopping them.
