Instructions

  1. Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion and bell pepper and saute until softened, about 5 minutes.
  2.  Stir in garlic, paprika, coriander, and cumin and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in broth and potatoes and bring to a boil over high heat. 
  3. Reduce heat to medium-low (I covered the pot from this point on) and simmer gently for 10 minutes.
  4. Stir in quinoa and simmer for 8 minutes. Stir in corn (I actually waited to add corn until adding the peas since I used frozen corn) and simmer until potatoes and quinoa are just tender, about 5 - 7 minutes. 
  5. Stir in tomatoes and peas and cook until warmed through, about 2 minutes.
  6. Remove from heat, season with salt and pepper to taste. 
  7. Sprinkle each serving with queso fresco, avocado and cilantro before serving.
