Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup dry quinoa
1 and 1/4 cup vegetable broth
10 ounce can diced tomatoes and green chiles
10 ounce can red enchilada sauce
15 ounce can black beans (drained and rinsed; about 1.5 cups)
1 cup frozen sweet corn (canned or fresh also work)
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 and 1/2 cups Mexican blend shredded cheese
optional toppings: avocado or guacamole, salsa, diced jalapeno, cilantro, lime

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Lightly oil a 9x13 baking dish. Rinse quinoa in a fine mesh sieve for 30 seconds.
  • On the stove in a small pot or in the microwave, heat the vegetable broth until simmering.
  • Combine all ingredients, except for the cheese and garnishes, in the 9x13 baking dish. Stir to combine.
  • Cover tightly with foil. Bake at 375F for 30 minutes on the middle oven rack. Remove the foil and stir. The quinoa should be cooked through but the casserole will still be liquidy.
  • Bake for 15 minutes, or until the quinoa is firm and the excess liquid evaporates.
  • Top with the shredded cheese and return to the oven for 5 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Serve topped with avocado or guacamole, fresh cilantro and salsa.

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.
