Quinoa Corn Dip 

Ingredients 

• Cup of quinoa (uncooked) 
• Cup of vegetable or beef broth 
• Cup of frozen corn 
• Tin of chopped tomatoes (we prefer the large, Italian seasoned kind) 
• 1-2 jalapeno peppers (depending on how much you like heat) 
• 1 green pepper 
• 1 medium sized red onion 
• 1 can of black beans (rinsed) 
• 1 avocado 
• Cup of cheddar cheese (we prefer cheddar but it’s up to you) 
• Tbs of olive oil 

Directions 

Step 1: Chop onion, green pepper, and jalapeno into small pieces.

Step 2: Coat large frying pan or skillet in olive oil. Add chopped veggies and cook on medium heat for approximately 2-3 minutes.

Step 3: Add tomatoes, quinoa, broth, corn, and beans to the pan.

Step 4: Stir and cover, bringing the mixture to a boil for approximately 5-8 minutes.

Step 5: Reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes or until quinoa is cooked through.

Step 6: Chop avocado into cubes and add to mixture. Heat and cover for approximately 2 minutes.

Step 7: Add shredded cheese on top and serve. Chips make an excellent companion, but you could also try dipping pitas or eating it on its own.
