Instructions
 

  • In a large non-stick 12 inch skillet with a cover sauté the onions and pepper in the olive oil over medium-low heat. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes or until they start to turn translucent. In the last minute add the garlic and continue to sauté for about 30 seconds.
  • Add the quinoa, broth, canned tomatoes, canned black beans, green chilies, frozen corn, Mexican Spice Mix and more salt and pepper to the skillet. Turn temperature up to high. Bring to a boil, then cover the pan and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for about 20 minutes or until the quinoa is cooked and the liquid is absorbed.
  • While the quinoa mixture is cooking, stir it occasionally to keep it from sticking and to check and make sure it doesn't need anymore water or broth.
  • Once cooked stir in the lime juice.
  • Serve the quinoa with toppings like lime wedges, cilantro and avocado.
