Easy Mexican Quinoa Bake

Nothing compares to good Mexican food. Most times it can be loaded with cheese, heavy sauces and in some cases even deep-fried. Here we share a healthier take on Mexican food using quinoa, veggies and enchilada sauce to create a casserole. Quinoa is not only gluten-free, it is full of protein which is a great option for vegetarians.

Ingredients:

  • Cooking spray
  • 2 cups cooked quinoa
  • 1 sweet onion, chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup frozen or canned corn
  • 1 small can enchilada sauce
  • 1 cup shredded Mexican-style cheese
  • 1/2 cup green onions, thinly sliced
  • Sour cream for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly spray a casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
