| MEXICAN QUINOA |

Brandon and I have been trying to eat more plant-based meals for a few months now. We both are busy with school and work and are often lazy when it comes to cooking dinner. This meal is super easy, quick and healthy. Win, win win.

Heres what you need:

tbsp olive oil
2 cloves garlic

1 cup quinoa

1 cup vegetable stock

1 can black beans

1 can corn

1 can diced tomatoes

tsp cumin

tsp chili powder
salt & pepper to taste
1 avocado (optional)
fresh cilantro (optional)

Heat olive oil in a large skillet on medium high heat. Cook garlic, stirring frequently, for about 1 minute.

Stir in quinoa, broth, tomatoes, corn, beans, chili powder, and cumin. Add salt and pepper to your liking. Bring this all to a boil and then cover. Reduce the heat and let simmer until quinoa is cooked. This usually takes about 20 minutes.

 I like to slice up an avocado and put it in mine and cilantro is always delicious if you have it around. And thats it! Really good and really filling. Hope you enjoy!
