Categories     Main Course

Time 6h15m

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound ground turkey ( or chicken, I used 93% lean ground turkey)
1 medium yellow onion (diced)
1 cup uncooked quinoa
2 (10-ounce) cans red enchilada sauce
1 (15-ounce) can black beans (drained and rinsed)
1 (15-ounce) can fire-roasted diced tomatoes in their juices
1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
1 red bell pepper (cored and diced)
1 green bell pepper (cored and diced)
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 cup water
1 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese (divided)
For serving: chopped fresh cilantro (diced avocado, chopped green onion, sour cream or plain Greek yogurt)

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium high. Add the turkey and onion. Cook and stir, breaking up the turkey as you go, until the turkey is no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Transfer to the bottom of a large slow cooker.
  • To the slow cooker, add the quinoa, enchilada sauce, black beans, tomatoes, corn, red bell pepper, green bell pepper, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and 1/2 cup water. Stir to combine, then cover and cook on high for 2 1/2 to 3 hours or low for 5 to 6 hours, until the liquid is absorbed and the quinoa is tender.
  • Remove the lid and stir. Taste and adjust any seasonings as desired. Stir in 1/2 cup of the shredded cheese, then sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top. Cover and cook on high until the cheese melts, about 10 to 15 minutes. Serve hot with any desired toppings.

SPICY CORN AND BLACK BEANS



Spicy Corn and Black Beans image

Sometimes I want to serve something other than Mexican rice with Mexican food. This is what I usually turn to. I like the color contrast, especially when served with red enchiladas.

SLOW COOKER SPICY BLACK BEAN AND SWEET POTATO CHILI



Slow Cooker Spicy Black Bean and Sweet Potato Chili image

This nourishing, smoky vegan chili is perfect for cold weeknights. Mix everything in the slow cooker before the chaos of the day begins, then just toss in some frozen corn a few minutes before you're ready to eat. As with any chili, toppings go far. Feel free to throw on what you have and what sounds good, like tortilla chips, cilantro or vegan cheese. The recipe calls for either coconut oil or vegetable oil. If you'd like a mild coconut flavor - which plays well with the orange juice in the chili - choose unrefined or virgin coconut oil. For a neutral flavor, choose refined coconut oil or any vegetable oil. Use one chipotle chile for a very mild chili, and four if you like yours very spicy.

1 (28-ounce) can crushed or diced tomatoes, preferably fire-roasted
3/4 cup orange juice
1/4 cup coconut oil or vegetable oil
1 to 4 chipotles from a can of chipotles in adobo, finely chopped, plus 3 tablespoons adobo sauce
2 packed tablespoons light brown sugar
Juice of 1 lime (about 1 1/2 tablespoons)
6 garlic cloves, smashed and roughly chopped

CHEESY, SPICY BLACK BEAN BAKE



Cheesy, Spicy Black Bean Bake image

Whether or not you've fallen for this cheesy white-bean tomato bake, we'd like you to meet its bolder counterpart, smoky and spiced, with lots of melty cheese. Black beans shine in a deep-red mixture of fried garlic, caramelized tomato paste, smoked paprika and cumin. The whole skillet gets coated in a generous sprinkling of sharp Cheddar or Manchego cheese, then baked until melted. The final result is what you hope for from a really good chili or stew, but in a lot less time. For a spicier rendition, add a pinch of cayenne with the paprika, or douse the final skillet with hot sauce. Serve with tortillas, tortilla chips, rice, a baked potato or fried eggs.

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
5 garlic cloves, peeled and sliced
1/4 cup tomato paste
1 1/2 teaspoons smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 (14-ounce) cans black beans, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup boiling water
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 1/2 cups grated Cheddar or Manchego cheese (from about a 6-ounce block)

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 475 degrees. In a 10-inch ovenproof skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high. Fry the garlic until lightly golden, about 1 minute. Stir in the tomato paste, paprika, red-pepper flakes and cumin (be careful of splattering), and fry for 30 seconds, reducing the heat as needed to prevent the garlic from burning.
  • Add the beans, water and generous pinches of salt and pepper, and stir to combine. Sprinkle the cheese evenly over the top then bake until the cheese has melted, 5 to 10 minutes. If the top is not as browned as you'd like, run the skillet under the broiler for 1 or 2 minutes. Serve immediately.
