Easy Quinoa Bake

Easy Quinoa bake

I recently discovered how much I enjoy Quinoa. I found this quick and easy recipe here. I didn't have some of the ingredients so I changed a couple of the things to what I knew I had. It turned out really good. A little spicy from the rotel but still really tasty. 

Ingredients

1 cup quinoa 

2 eggs

2 cans black beans

1 can corn

2 cans of chicken

1 cup of shredded cheese 

1 can diced tomatoes 

1 can rotel

1 tbs cumin

salt and pepper

large bowl

medium sized bowl

9x13 pan lightly sprayed with non stick cooking spray

1. preheat oven to 350°. Rinse 1 cup of quinoa throughly in a fine mesh strainer. Place quinoa in a sauce pan with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil then turn the heat down to a simmer. Cook for 15 to 30 minutes or until all the water is absorbed.

2. In the large mixing bowl combine cooked quinoa, black beans, chicken, cumin, salt, and pepper.

3. In the medium bowl mix can of diced tomatoes, rotel, and eggs till well combined. Add the mixture to the large bowl and stir well. 

4. Place in lightly greased pan. Sprinkle shredded cheese (I added a little more than 1 cup.) on top. Bake uncovered for about 30 to 35 minutes.
