One Pan Mexican Quinoa

I Love finding new recipes that the whole family loves!!
One Pan Mexican Quinoa - Wonderfully light, healthy and nutritious. And it's so easy to make - even the quinoa is cooked right in the pan!


INGREDIENTS
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 jalapenos, minced (I used green chiles)
  • 1 cup quinoa
  • 1 cup vegetable broth (I used organic low sodium broth)
  • 1 (15-ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed (I used low sodium)
  • 1 (14.5 oz) can fire-roasted diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup corn kernels (I used frozen corn)
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 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
INSTRUCTIONS
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add garlic and jalapeno, and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, 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.
