Ingredients
- ½ onion finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 cup red pepper finely chopped
- 1 fresh tomato finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon Coriander
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup corn
- 1 cup black beans
- 1 cup quinoa
- 2 cups water or vegetable stock
- 1 avocado
- A handful fresh cilantro
- 1 lime
Instructions
- Finely chop the onion, red pepper, and fresh tomato. Mince the garlic.
- Add olive oil to a large pan, and cook the chopped onion and pepper until the onion starts to soften.
- Next, add the chopped tomato, garlic, and spices. Mix well and cook at medium heat for a few minutes.
- Rinse the quinoa.
- Add the quinoa, corn, beans, and water or vegetable stock. Incorporate all these ingredients, mix well so everything is combined, and bring the water to a simmer.
- Cover the pan with a lid or place some tin foil securely on top, ensuring you leave a small gap for the steam to escape.
- Leave the quinoa cooking for about 15 minutes at low temperature. After this, turn the heat off and leave to rest for five more minutes.
- Remove the tinfoil, and with two forks, fluff the quinoa.
- Garnish with sliced avocado, chopped coriander, and some fresh lime.
Notes
- You can add a teaspoon (or two) of chipotle paste when cooking the tomato or right at the end if not everyone likes spicy food.
