Step 1

Preheat oven to 375℉. Mist a 9- x 13-inch casserole pan with non-stick oil spray.

Step 2

Add dry quinoa along the bottom of the pan, followed by water, canned tomatoes with liquid, beans, corn, optional veggies, and taco seasoning. Mix everything.

Step 3

Cover pan with parchment paper, foil or a glass cover, and bake for 30 minutes.

Step 4

Uncover, mix everything, and let quinoa soak up extra liquid for a few minutes. Sprinkle cheese over the top and place back in oven for 5 to 10 mins until cheese is melted.

Step 5

Top with optional garnishes, including diced avocado, sliced jalapeño, chopped cilantro or fresh lime juice.
