Provided by Christine Rooney

Categories     Main Course

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups quinoa (any color)
4 cups water
2 15 oz. cans black beans (drained and rinsed)
2 cups frozen corn
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. onion powder
1 tsp. smoked paprika
1 tsp. cumin
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. pepper
2 1/2 cups gluten free red enchilada sauce (or any red enchilada sauce if not GF)
2 cups shredded cheese (such as cheddar or Pepper Jack)
cooking spray
Toppings such as avocado, cilantro, lime, pickled jalapenos, sour cream, tomatoes, or lettuce (optional)

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.

  • Add the veggie broth, and then all the ingredients EXCEPT the cheese and the lime into the slow cooker. Stir a few times to completely combine.
  • Set the slow cooker to HIGH for 2 to 2 ½ hours. I've made it both ways, and it just depends on your individual slow cooker.
  • When there are about 10 minutes left, open the slow cooker and add the lime juice and ½ the cheese. Stir it in as best as you can, then smooth the mix back flat again. Sprinkle the rest of the cheese over the top. Place the lid back on and let it cook for the last 10 minutes.
  • When the casserole is ready, serve with your favourite toppings (avocado, chopped green onions, parsley, tomato and sour cream). Enjoy!!
