Easy Vegan Tex-Mex Quinoa

5 from 1 reviews

This quick and easy one-pot Tex-Mex quinoa is great with a side of beans. Or, stir-in some corn and black beans at the very end for a super-fast chilli! Great served with diced avocado and cilantro. Vegan & Gluten-Free.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1/4 tsp chilli powder
  • 1 can (400ml) diced tomatoes, with liquid
  • 1/3 cup quinoa, rinsed
  • salt and pepper

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, heat oil over medium heat and fry the onion, garlic, cumin and chilli powder until onions translucent.
  2. Stir-in the diced tomatoes (with juice) and quinoa, and bring to boil. Lower heat to lowest setting, cover saucepan and simmer until quinoa is ready, about 15 minutes. Season with salt & pepper.
