One Skillet Mexican Quinoa
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 jalapeno pepper, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can fire-roasted diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup yellow corn
  • 1 cup quinoa
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 pinch kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 avocado - peeled, pitted, and diced
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro


  1. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Saute jalapeno pepper and garlic in hot oil until fragrant, about 1 minute.
