Time 40m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups beef broth, divided
1 (1.25 ounce) package chili seasoning mix
1 tablespoon coconut oil
1 cup quinoa, rinsed
1 (14.5 ounce) can petite diced tomatoes
1 (15 ounce) can tri-bean blend
1 (7 ounce) can diced green chilies
½ cup frozen corn

Steps:

  • Whisk 1 cup beef broth and chili seasoning mix together in a bowl.
  • Melt coconut oil in a pot over medium-high heat. Cook and stir quinoa in hot oil until fragrant and lightly toasted, 1 minute. Pour broth-seasoning mixture, remaining 1 cup beef broth, and tomatoes into quinoa mixture. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until quinoa has absorbed most of the liquid, 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Stir bean blend, green chilies, and corn into quinoa mixture; simmer until heated through, 5 to 10 minutes.
