Got 6 random ingredients?
Game on.
Just don't make those ingredients consist of Cheetos, oats, Hersey syrup, chocolate chips, Rice Krispies, and carrots. I tried that once. I was four.
Black Bean Quinoa
- 1 cup low sodium chicken (or veggie) broth
- 1 can diced tomatoes
- 1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 onion, cut into 1" chunks
- 2 cups quinoa ("KEEN-wah"- high fiber grain that also is a good source of protein)
- Nonfat plain Greek yogurt
- Corn (optional)
- Cilantro (optional)
In a Dutch oven, heat up 1 Tbsp olive oil and saute onions until tender. Add broth, tomatoes, and quinoa. Cover and let simmer on low for 5-10 minutes. You may need to add a bit more water so that the quinoa has enough to soak up. Once the quinoa is cooked, stir in the black beans and corn. Season with a few pinches of chipotle chili powder, onion powder, and pepper.
Serve with a nice blob of the Greek yogurt (replaces sour cream and gives you additional protein) and cilantro.
Okay so maybe I'm more like MacGruber. Whatever.
