Quinoa Blend Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Cook the Quinoa

    Rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a medium saucepan, combine quinoa and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and let sit covered for 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the quinoa is cooking, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced red onion and bell pepper, and sauté for about 5 minutes until softened.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Add corn and black beans to the skillet. Stir in the cooked quinoa along with chopped cilantro, lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until everything is heated through.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve warm or at room temperature.
