Quinoa Bake

I’ve had a couple friends tell me how much they enjoyed my Quinoa Bake I brought over last weekend that I decided to post the recipe I found on Pinterest, but with my additions.

Here is what you need.

Directions

1. . Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9×13 baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.

2. Prepare quinoa according to package.

3. Dice onions and peppers.

4. In a large skillet, heat the tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Sauté onion until softened, about 5 minutes. Add in the garlic, peppers and corn. Cook for about 3-4 minutes. Add the lime juice, cumin, and cilantro. Stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

5. In a large bowl, add the cooked quinoa and black beans. Add the sauteed vegetable mixture and stir to combine. Pour in the enchilada sauce and stir. Add 1/2 cup shredded cheese.

6. Pour the black bean and quinoa mixture into the prepared baking dish. Top with remaining shredded cheese. Cover the pan with foil. Bake for 20 minutes, then remove foil. Bake an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and edges are bubbling.

Enjoy!
