This Mexican quinoa recipe is made in ONE skillet for an easy, nourishing, vegetarian meal perfect for easy weeknight dinners!

One Skillet Mexican Quinoa

Tablespoon naturally refined avocado oil olive oil

cup white onion, chopped

teaspoon minced garlic (about 2 small cloves)

cups frozen corn kernels,

1 large bell pepper, chopped

3 to 3 1/2 cups cooked quinoa (see notes)

Optional Garnishes: Fresh cilantro, chopped and fresh lime wedges

Heat a large oven-safe skillet on medium high heat. Add the oil to skillet and sauté onions until translucent, about 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook an additional 1 minute.

Add the corn and bell pepper to the pan and sauté for about 4 minutes, or until veggies are softened. Add the cooked quinoa, broth, salt, pepper, cumin, and chili powder (if using) and stir to combine.

Mix in drained canned tomatoes and green chiles. Reduce heat to medium low and cook for 5 minutes or until spices and sauces are absorbed with the quinoa and veggies. If the pan starts to dry out, add more broth.

Lastly, stir in 1 cup shredded cheese and continue to cook until melted, stirring occasionally.
