Ingredients
2 tablespoons olive oil
3/4 cup chopped onion
1/2 green bell pepper, chopped
pinch of salt
10 ounce can diced tomatoes
4 ounce can green chiles
2 teaspoons ground chili powder
1 cup quinoa, rinsed
2 cups chicken broth (try my homemade)
Directions
Drain canned tomatoes and green chiles, reserving liquids in a 2-cup measure; add enough chicken stock to equal 2 cups.
In a large skillet, saute onions, peppers, and salt until onions are translucent and starting to caramelize, about 5 minutes.
Add canned tomatoes and green chiles; stir for a minute or two; add chili powder and saute for 30-60 seconds.
Add the quinoa and chicken stock mixture; stir well to combine.
Bring mixture to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until all the liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and serve.
