Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups uncooked multi-colored quinoa
  • 2 cups shredded colby jack cheese divided
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese divided
  • 1 cup canned black beans rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup frozen charred corn trader joes
  • 1 4.5-ounce can chopped green chiles
  • 1 ½ cup Gaby's chipotle or tomatillo salsa
  • Kosher salt and pepper to taste
  • Finely chopped scallions and cilantro as garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Cook the quinoa according to the package directions. Once cooked, remove from heat and transfer the cooked quinoa into a large bowl.
  • Fold in 1 1/2 cups of the shredded colby jack cheese, ½ cup of the shredded mozzarella, black beans, corn, green chiles and salsa. Season the entire mixture with salt and pepper and stir to combine.
  • Lightly spray a medium sized skillet with non-stick spray, and transfer the mixture into the skillet. Top with the remaining shredded cheeses and bake for about 20-25 minutes until the top layer of cheese is bubbly and melted.
  • Remove the baking dish from the oven and garnish with green onions and cilantro and serve.
