I LOVE black beans! Any time I can add black beans I’m a happy camper! They are great way to get a yellow container (21 Day Fix) and very healthy for you!
What you’ll need:
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil (Can use canola or extra virgin olive oil)
- 1 onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, chopped
- ¾ cup quinoa
- 1 ½ cups vegetable broth (use low sodium)
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 cup frozen corn kernels
- 2 (15 ounce cans black beans, rinsed and drained (use low sodium)
- ½ cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste (Use Pink Himalayan Sea Salt as a salt alternative)
**Again to make this organic and healthy you can use organic canned, fresh, or frozen items**
Directions:
- Heat oil in a saucepan over medium heat; cook and stir onion and garlic until lightly browned, about 10 minutes.
- Mix quinoa into onion mixture and cover with vegetable broth; season with cumin, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer until quinoa is tender and broth is absorbed, about 20 minutes.
- Stir frozen corn into the saucepan, and continue to simmer until heated through, about 5 minutes; mix in the black beans and cilantro.
