5-ingredient Mexican Quinoa - Simply Quinoa

Ingredients to Gather

Before we get cooking, here’s what you’ll need to make this scrumptious dish:

  • 1 cup quinoa
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 can black beans (rinsed and drained)
  • 1 cup corn (fresh, frozen, or canned)
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes (fresh or canned, your call!)

Instructions: Let’s Get Cooking!

Now that we have our ingredients, here’s how to bring it all together:

  1. First, rinse the quinoa under cold water. This helps to remove the bitter coating and helps it taste delicious. No one likes a bitter bite, right?
  2. In a medium-sized pot, combine the rinsed quinoa and the vegetable broth. Bring this combo to a boil and then reduce the heat to simmer.
  3. Cover the pot and let it simmer for about 15 minutes. During this time, the quinoa will soak up all that delicious broth and become fluffy and fabulous.
  4. While you’re waiting, gather the black beans, corn, and diced tomatoes. Once the quinoa is done, fluff it with a fork and stir in your beans, corn, and tomatoes. This is where the magic happens!
  5. Gently mix everything together until well combined and let it heat through on the stove for another 5 minutes. You’ll start to smell those delicious flavors blending. At this point, your kitchen will become the most popular place in the house!
  6. Once heated, take it off the stove and serve immediately. Feel free to get creative with toppings like avocado, cilantro, or a squeeze of lime for that extra zing!

And voilà! You’ve just crafted a bowl of pure bliss that’s as nutritious as it is delectable. Perfect for lunch, dinner, or even a midnight snack (no judgment here!). So dig in, share with friends, or keep it all to yourself – we won’t tell!
