Quinoa with Black Beans and Corn

Ingredients

  • 1 tsp vegetable oil
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 3 cloves of garlic chopped
  • 3/4 of uncooked quinoa - I pick mine up at the bulk barn
  • 1 1/2 cups of broth I use no salt added chicken broth, but you can use vegetable as well
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp Cayenne Pepper
  • 1/4 tsp of pepper or to taste
  • 1 can of corn kernels
  • 1 19oz can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro chopped
  • 1 tsp lime juice

Instructions

  • Heat oil in saucepan over medium heat - cook onion and garlic until lightly browned
  • Add quinoa, broth, cumin, cayenne pepper, and pepper. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes
  • Stir in corn and beans and continue to simmer for another 5 minutes
  • Mix in cilantro and lime juice - and serve!

Notes

Can be served hot or cold. Keeps well in the fridge for about 5 days. This recipe makes about 6-8 wraps - I like to top mine with cheese and salsa. You could also add a little sour cream if you like! It is sooooo good.
