Ingredients you’ll need
- 2 cups of quinoa, rinsed

- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 cup corn kernels, fresh or frozen

How to prepare this vibrant dish
Start by combining the rinsed quinoa and vegetable broth in a medium saucepan. Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 15 minutes until the quinoa is fluffy and the broth is absorbed.
While the quinoa cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until it turns translucent.
Next, stir in the minced garlic and diced red bell pepper. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the bell pepper softens.
Add the corn kernels, black beans, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Let the mixture cook for 5 more minutes, stirring occasionally to evenly distribute the flavors.
When the quinoa is done, transfer it into the skillet with the vegetable mixture. Stir everything together until well combined.
Remove the skillet from the heat and mix in the chopped cilantro and lime juice. Serve warm, and garnish with additional cilantro if desired.
Expert tips for perfect results
- Rinse the quinoa thoroughly before cooking to remove any bitterness from the natural coating.
- Use fresh lime juice for the best flavor; bottled lime juice can taste less vibrant.
- If using frozen corn, thaw it before adding to the skillet for even cooking.
Storage and leftovers
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat on the stovetop over low heat, adding a splash of vegetable broth if needed to prevent drying out. This dish also tastes great cold, making it a convenient option for packed lunches.
