Mexican Quinoa Bowl

September 1, 2015 By Shanell Leave a Comment

You all know how I feel about quinoa, right? Well, if you missed the boat on that one, you can read all about it here in this post. I just thought I’d share with you a quick and easy Mexican dish you can whip up in about 30 minutes. You’ll thank me later.

This recipe right here might be my favorite. I mix up a batch of this stuff and use it for days. It’s got 2 1/2 cups of cooked quinoa (cooked in the rice cooker), and then all of these delicious ingredients added to it:

  • 1 (4-ounce) can green chiles
  • 1 cup corn kernels
  • 1/2 cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1/2 cup petite diced tomatoes
  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder, or more to taste
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Mix it all together and you can serve it with scrambled eggs in the morning, use it in ANY taco recipe, enchiladas, soup, chili, add it to your salad, sprinkle some on some avocado toast, and so much more!

Hi, I’m Shanell!

Hi, I'm Shanell!
As a wife and a busy mom of 3, I believe in real life: busy days, messy hair, dirty dishes and sticky fingers. I also believe life can be a 'real' blessing if we take time to enjoy it. I find that I enjoy it most when I make 'real' food, workout 'real' hard, and study 'real' truth. So, this is me, trying to be Shanell, for real.
