I found this fabulous recipe on Allrecipes and changed it a bit. Makes amazing tacos or use it as a chip dip!
1 tsp. oil
1 onion chopped or 1/4 C. dried minced (if using dried add with broth)
3 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
3/4 C. uncooked quinoa
1 1/2 C. chicken or vegetable broth
1 tsp. ground cumin
1/8-1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
salt and pepper to taste
1 C. frozen corn kernels
1 (15oz.) can black beans, drained and rinsed
1/2 C. fresh cilantro (mix in or on the side)
Heat oil in a medium sauccepan over medium heat. Stir in the onion and garlic and saute until lightly brown.
Mix quinoa into the garlic and onion and add broth. Add cumin, cayenne pepper, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, cover and reduce heat to simmer for 20 min.
