Delicious One-Pan Quinoa

Ingredients

• 1 cup quinoa
• 2 cups water or vegetable broth
• 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 cup fresh corn kernels
• 1/2 cup diced red bell peppers
• 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 ripe avocado, sliced
• 1 fresh lime, cut into wedges
• 1 ear of corn, shucked

Instructions

1. Rinse quinoa thoroughly under cold water.
2. In a large skillet or pan, combine rinsed quinoa and water or vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until liquid is absorbed.
3. While quinoa cooks, shuck the corn and cut kernels off the cob. In a separate pan, sauté corn kernels for 5 minutes until slightly golden.
4. Once quinoa is cooked, fluff with a fork and add to the skillet with the corn. Stir in black beans, diced red bell peppers, and chopped cilantro. Cook for another 5 minutes until heated through.
5. Serve warm or at room temperature, topped with sliced avocado and a squeeze of fresh lime juice.
