Quinoa Black Bean Salad

I love when I can find a really good meatless recipe for my family. This one hits the spot.

Most similar recipes use enchilada sauce but this version doesn't to keep it sugar/flour free.

Ingredients

• 1 ½ c quinoa

• 1 ¼ c water

• 1 can of fire-roasted tomatoes (don’t drain)

• 1 can of black beans

• 1 can of corn

• Lime juice from 1 lime

• Spice mix of equal parts chili powder, salt, pepper, garlic powder, cayenne pepper

Instructions

Cook the quinoa, water and can of tomatoes together in a skillet. 

Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer for about 15 minutes (or quinoa is done). 

Stir in black beans, corn, lime juice and spices.  

Serve in a bowl with your favorite toppings (salsa, sour cream, avocado, etc.)
