Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium jalapeño 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 or to taste
  • 1 ½ teaspoons chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 medium avocado - peeled pitted, and diced
  • 1 medium lime juiced

Instructions
 

  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté jalapeño pepper and garlic in the hot oil until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Stir black beans, tomatoes, corn, quinoa, and chicken broth into the skillet. Season with pepper flakes, chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper; bring to a boil.
  • Cover the skillet with a lid, reduce heat to low, and simmer until quinoa is tender and liquid is mostly absorbed, about 20 minutes.
  • Add avocado, lime juice, and cilantro; stir until combined.
