Ingredients
- Two portions of beef broth, split
- A packet of chili seasoning mix weighing 1.25 ounces
- A tablespoon of coconut oil for a touch of tropical goodness
- A portion of rinsed quinoa, equivalent to a cup
- A can of petite diced tomatoes, weighing 14.5 ounces
- A can of tri-bean blend, coming in at 15 ounces
- A can of diced green chilies, adding a burst of flavor
- Half a cup of frozen corn for a touch of sweetness
Step 1
Begin by combining a cup of beef broth with chili seasoning in a bowl, whisking them together until well blended.
Step 2
Next, in a pot heated over medium-high, let coconut oil melt and then add the quinoa. Stir the quinoa in the oil until it becomes fragrant and slightly toasted, which should take about a minute. Proceed by pouring the broth-seasoning mix, another cup of beef broth, and tomatoes into the pot with the quinoa. Stir this mixture well and bring it to a boil, making sure to stir frequently. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the mixture simmer until the quinoa has soaked up most of the liquid - this should take around 20 to 30 minutes.
Step 3
To enhance the dish, introduce a bean blend, green chilies, and corn to the quinoa mix. Let everything simmer together until heated through, which should take about 5 to 10 minutes. This step will further enrich the flavors and textures of the dish, creating a delicious and wholesome meal for you to enjoy.
Extra Tips & Suggestions
- 1. Utilize clear glass containers to store pre-chopped veggies and beans for easy access when making your quinoa chili in a hurry.
- 2. Keep your quinoa in a resealable bag or airtight container to maintain its freshness and prevent it from absorbing any unwanted odors.
