Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 yellow onion , chopped
  • 1 bell pepper , chopped and seeds removed
  • 2 cloves garlic , minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • Pinch of cayenne pepper
  • 1 (25 oz) box chopped tomatoes (nothing else added)
  • 1.5 teaspoons fine sea salt
  • 1 cup quinoa

  • 1 cup water
  • 1.5 cups cooked black beans (or one 15 oz. can, drained and rinsed)

Optional Toppings

  • fresh cilantro

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a 3.5 quart skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Sauté the onion and pepper until softened, about 8 minutes. 
  2. Add in the garlic, cumin, chili powder, and cayenne pepper, if using, and sauté until fragrant, about one more minute. 
  3. Add in the chopped tomatoes (with their juices), salt, quinoa, red lentils, water, and black beans. Stir well and bring the liquid to a boil. Cover and lower the heat to a simmer, cooking until the quinoa and lentils are tender, about 15 minutes.
