*Quinoa and Black Bean Chili*



Perfect for a Meatless Monday dinner!

I whipped this quick pot of deliciousness last night and made a whole lot extra quinoa so that I can make a few fast dinners this week.
Quinoa is extremely versatile so dinners don't seem redundant! Make sure to always use organic and GMO-Free ingredients whenever possible...

Quinoa and Black Bean Chili Recipe:
1 Tbs. grapeseed or coconut oil
1-2  Lg. Onion-chopped
1-2  red or orange bell peppers-chopped or (1 bag frozen pepper mix)
1 jalapeno pepper- chopped
3  garlic cloves-chopped
2 cans-Black Beans (rinsed and drained)
1-1/2 C. frozen corn
2 Lg. (28 oz.) cans diced tomatoes
1 can- Pitted black olives (chopped slightly)
2 Tbs. cumin
2 tsp. oregano
2 Tbs. onion powder
3 tbs. chili powder
1/4 C. Cilantro-chopped
4 Cups cooked quinoa

In a seperate pot cook quinoa per directions.
While quinoa is cooking 15-20 minutes, in a large pot saute onions, garlic, and peppers until soft then add remaining ingredients except for quinoa. Bring the pot to a boil and simmer for about 15 min.
Add the cooked quinoa, mix and serve
Tip~ Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro
