quinoa with black bean
Thursday, March 14, 2013
this meal has become a staple in our house. it's good, healthy and we always have the ingredients on hand (or can easily switch them up) we have been eating out a lot recently and when we do eat at home, this is what i crave, something that i know is good for me.
it's so simple. and feel free to switch it up based on what you have on hand.
quinoa with black bean
what you need:the basics:
1 cup quinoa (dry and then cooked according to package)
1/2 onion, diced
1 can black beans
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 cup frozen yellow corn (this is a guess, use what you want)
taco seasoning (or cumin, red pepper and salt)
feel free to add:
roasted sweet potato
avocado
salsa
zucchini
how to:
cook 1 cup of quinoa. while that is cooking, in a skillet, on medium heat, add onion, let cook for a couple minutes and add remaining ingredients cook until warm. - i typically add loads of cumin and red pepper, but this time i used a taco seasoning packet and it worked great and was super easy - when quinoa is finished, mix in. -this time we added roasted sweet potato, you can also add in other veggies ( i like to have 3 or 4 different vegetables) or salsa for a little more flavor - you can serve alone, with a tortilla, along with lettuce, or how we'll be serving it tonight, as lettuce wraps, it never gets old! don't forget to top with fresh avocado! enjoy!
