Cuisine: Vegetarian
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 jalapeno, minced (I used canned)
1 cup quinoa
1 cup vegetable broth (I used chicken broth because my daughter is not strictly vegan)
1 (15-ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 (14.5 oz) can fire-roasted diced tomatoes
1 cup corn kernels (I used frozen)
1 teaspoon chili powder
½ teaspoon cumin
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 avocado, halved, seeded, peeled and diced
Juice of 1 lime
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves (Optional if you don't like cilantro!)
Instructions
In a large pan, heat olive oil over medium high heat. Add garlic & jalapeno, and cook, stirring frequently for about 1 minute.
Stir in quinoa, vegetable broth, beans, tomatoes, corn, chili powder and cumin; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat and simmer until quinoa is cooked through, about 20 minutes. Stir in avocado, lime juice and cilantro.
Serve immediately.
