03 Method

Step 1

Chop your peppers and onion and mince your garlic.
Step 2

Heat a tablespoon of oil in an oven or a large pot on medium-high heat.
Step 3

Add onions, peppers, and garlic and cook for about 5 minutes to tenderize the veggies.
Step 4

Next add crushed tomatoes, corn, chili beans, black beans, and spices; stir to mix.
Step 5

Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, covered, for 25-30 minutes.
Step 6

While your chili simmers, rinse your quinoa.
Step 7

Add quinoa to a small pot with water or vegetable broth to boil and bring to a rolling boil.
Step 8

Once boiling, reduce heat to the lowest setting and cover [with the lid propped open a bit to vent] for 12-13 minutes or until quinoa is fluffy. Fluff with a fork and add to the pot of chili.
Step 9

The total cook time for the chili will be about 25-30 minutes but feel free to leave it simmering on the stove for a little longer, on the lowest setting, if desired to mingle the flavors even further.
Step 10

Scoop out a bowlful, pile on the toppings, sit back, and enjoy!
