Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 cup uncooked quinoa, rinsed
1/2 cup water
1 small onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 red pepper, seeds removed, diced
2 (15 oz) cans black beans, rinsed and drained
2 (10 oz) cans Old El Paso™ mild red enchilada sauce
1 (15 oz) can diced tomatoes
1 (4.5 oz) can Old El Paso™ chopped green chiles
1 cup corn frozen kernels
Juice of 1 small lime
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon chili powder
1/3 cup chopped cilantro
Salt and black pepper, to taste
1 1/2 cups shredded Mexican cheese
Optional toppings: Sliced green onions, avocado, diced tomatoes, sour cream, cilantro, and lime wedges

Steps:

  • Combine the quinoa, water, onion, garlic, red pepper, black beans, enchilada sauce, diced tomatoes, green chiles, corn, lime juice, cumin, chile powder, and cilantro in a slow cooker. Stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Cover and cook on high for 3 hours or on low for 6 hours, or until the liquid is absorbed and quinoa is cooked.

  • Serve warm with desired toppings.

? This recipe was a little too spicy for my taste. I think I'll try it again with a milder enchilada sauce.

❓ I'm not sure what went wrong, but my casserole turned out really watery. I think I might have added too much liquid.

? The recipe was easy to follow, but the casserole was bland and lacked flavor. I had to add extra spices and salsa to make it taste better.
