Steps:
- Rinse 2 cups of quinoa under running water for a minute or so. This will help to remove any bitter taste as it cooks.
- Add 4 cups of water to a pot and bring to a boil. Once the water is boiling add 2 cups of quinoa. Reduce heat to a low boil, cover, and cook for 15 minutes or so.
- Once the quinoa has absorbed all the water fluff it with a fork, turn off the burner, and allow the quinoa to sit covered for 5 minutes or so.
- Once the quinoa is cooked add it to a large mixing bowl.
- Drain and rinse 2 15 oz. cans of black beans. Add them to the bowl with the quinoa along with 2 cups of frozen corn.
- To the bowl add 1 tsp. each of garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, cumin, salt and pepper. Stir until completely combined with a large spoon.
- Spray a 9x13" casserole dish with cooking spray. Pour the quinoa mixture into the pan and spread evenly across the bottom. Add 2 1/2 cups of red enchilada sauce to the quinoa and stir until combined. Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheese into the quinoa and fold into the mixture with a large spoon.
- Place the casserole into an oven that has been heated to 375 degrees and bake for 25 minutes. Remove, sprinkle another cup of shredded cheese over the top, and return to the oven for another 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Remove and allow to cool slightly before serving.
- Topping Suggestions: I recommend topping this casserole with something like avocado or cilantro to brighten it up. Something pickled like jarred jalapenos, pickled onions or radishes are great as well as diced tomatoes, lime, sour cream, or lettuce.

BLACK BEAN AND QUINOA ENCHILADA BAKE
Great dish for Mexican night with lots of different possibilities. The best thing about this recipe is it can be served by itself for a main dish on Mexican night, or be eaten with tortilla chips as a dip or even rolled up in a tortilla as a taco, burrito, or enchilada. Garnish with green onions, avocado, tomatoes, or/and sour cream. Very versatile recipe. So enjoy and learn the many uses of oh so healthy quinoa.

- Soak the quinoa over night covering it in at least 2" of water (if desired). Otherwise, simply rinse the quinoa through a fine mesh strainer until the water runs clear. In a medium sauce pot add the soaked (or unsoaked) quinoa and water. Stir in a pinch of salt and bring to a simmer. Cover, turn heat to medium-low, and simmer until tender and the 'tails' are showing. Soaked quinoa will take about 8 minutes and need to be drained while unsoaked quinoa takes about 15 minutes to cook (no draining needed). Drain any excess water and spoon into a large mixing bowl.
- Set oven rack in center and preheat oven to 350F (180C).Meanwhile heat the oil in a medium saute pan until it shimmers. Add the onion and bell (or poblano) pepper and saute allowing the veggies to set for 2-3 minutes at a time to sear, for about 8 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Sprinkle in the salt and cumin and stir so that the veggies are coated for one minute. Add the mixture to the bowl of quinoa.
- To the mixing bowl, add the zucchini, corn, black beans, enchilada sauce, adobo sauce and 1 1/2 C (150g) of pepper jack cheese. Stir thoroughly so that all the veggies are evenly distributed. Transfer the mixture into a 9"x13" (22cmx33cm) baker/casserole, smooth top and sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top. Cover with foil tenting the center slightly so that it doesn't rest on the cheese and bake for 30-35 minutes until the cheese has melted and it's bubbly. Remove from oven and rest covered for 10 minutes. Garnish with options or serve garnishes on the side.
- Store in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to three days or in the freezer for up to one month. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator. To reheat, cover and bake in a preheated oven for about 15 minutes.
