Number Of Ingredients 16

¾ cup dry black beans
4 cups water
2 cups tri-colored quinoa
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 red onion, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 pinch cumin
1 ½ cups frozen grilled corn (such as Trader Joe's®)
½ cup chopped fresh cilantro, divided
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 cups shredded Colby Jack cheese, divided
¾ cup spicy green salsa, or more to taste
1 tablespoon tomato paste
¾ cup hot water
2 scallions, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Place black beans in a multi-functional pressure cooker. Add enough water to cover by a few inches. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 20 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
  • Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 10 minutes. Unlock and remove lid. Drain black beans and rinse out the pot.
  • Combine 4 cups water and quinoa in the pressure cooker pot. Close and lock the lid. Select Brown Rice function and set timer for 8 minutes. Allow 5 to 10 minutes for pressure to build.
  • Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove lid. Remove pot carefully using oven mitts, fluff quinoa with a fork, and let cool.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion, red bell pepper, garlic, and cumin; cook and stir until softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Stir in corn until heated through, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in 1/4 cup cilantro. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Stir black beans, onion mixture, 1 cup Colby Jack cheese, and green salsa into the pot of quinoa. Spread mixture in a large baking dish.
  • Dissolve tomato paste in 3/4 cup hot water. Drizzle over the quinoa mixture. Sprinkle remaining Colby Jack cheese evenly over the top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted, about 25 minutes. Garnish with remaining cilantro and scallions.
