  • Author: Luna

Ingredients

– 1 cup quinoa
– 2 cups vegetable broth (or chicken broth)
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 onion, diced
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 bell pepper, diced (any color)
– 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
– 1 can corn, drained
– 1 can diced tomatoes with green chilies
– 1 tablespoon chili powder
– 1 teaspoon cumin
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
– Fresh cilantro for garnish


Instructions

Creating your own Enchilada Quinoa can be a straightforward process if you follow these steps:

1. Rinse Quinoa: Start by rinsing the quinoa under cold water to remove any bitterness.
2. Cook Quinoa: In a medium saucepan, combine the quinoa and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes until the quinoa is fluffy and the liquid is absorbed.
3. Sauté Vegetables: While the quinoa cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and garlic, sautéing until softened (around 3-4 minutes).
4. Add Bell Pepper: Stir in the diced bell pepper and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
5. Combine Ingredients: Add black beans, corn, diced tomatoes, chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well and cook for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
6. Mix with Quinoa: Once quinoa is ready, fluff it with a fork. Add the cooked vegetable mixture to the quinoa and stir until everything is combined.
7. Add Cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheese over the top, allowing it to melt (you can cover the skillet to speed up this process).
8. Garnish: Once the cheese is melted and bubbly, remove from heat and garnish with fresh cilantro.
9. Serve: Serve the Enchilada Quinoa warm, and enjoy!

These simple steps lead to a delicious meal that will leave everyone asking for seconds.
