Confetti Quinoa with Black Beans
4 servings
1/2 cup quinoa, rinsed (I used a red variety)
1/2 red pepper, chopped
1/2 green pepper, chopped
1/4 onion, chopped
1 can black beans
2 tablespoons guacamole
1 tablespoon Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons salsa
colby jack cheese for garnish
1. Add the rinsed quinoa, water, and chopped onion and peppers into the bowl of a rice cooker. Cook on the "white rice" setting. Allow to sit for at least 15 minutes after cooking is complete. (If you don't have a rice cooker, cook the quinoa according to the manufacturer's instructions, then stir in the chopped peppers and onion at the end.)
2. Heat the black beans in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir every so often to ensure beans heat evenly (and they don't get stuck on the bottom of the pot!).
3. To serve, make a bed of quinoa, add black beans and the toppings of your choice. (We added guacamole, Greek yogurt, some salsa, and a bit of cheese.)
4. Eat!
