Quinoa with Black Beans: A Healthy And Delicious Mexican Dish

TBT... This is my first vegetarian recipe! Special thanks to Julia for being a wonderful guest chef! Seriously, the recipe is so simple. One pan, super healthy and is ready in less than 20 minutes! If you are not a vegetarian, you can also cook some chicken or shrimp and add it to the meal! Deeeelicious. Woo hoo first vegetarian recipe I’ve made a video of! And it’s DELICIOUS! Don’t worry though, if you need some meat, add chicken or shrimp to the dish and you certainly won’t regret it!! So the ridiculously easy written recipe for the healthy, delicious vegetarian dish is: 1 cup quinoa (be sure to rinse if the box does not say pre-washed) 15. oz can of black beans, rinsed and drained 2 tomatoes 1 yellow onion 1/4 cup of cilantro, chopped 1 tsp salt/pepper 1 lime 1 tbl olive oil Now for the 3 really ridiculously easy steps: 1. Put your olive oil and onions in a medium sauce pan. Saute for 2-3 minutes. Add the tomatoes, stir and cook another 2 minutes. 2. Add your quinoa, salt, pepper and one and a half cups of water. Stir. Cover. Simmer for 14 minutes, or until the quinoa has absorbed all the water. 3. Add the cilantro and beans. Stir. Cook just a minute so the beans can warm up. Serve!!! Add fresh lime to the table so everyone can add as much as they would like. Could that be any easier? Cook some chicken or shrimp if you’re not a vegetarian and add it into the mix at the end! Very healthy, very filling and super delicious. Voila!
