Black Bean & Quinoa Pie



Black Bean & Quinoa Pie

What You Will Need:

Corn Tortillas
1 Can Organic Blackbeans
Shredded Monterey Jack and Cheddar Cheese Mixture
1 Finely Chopped Red Pepper
1 Finely Chopped Yellow Pepper
1/2 Finely Chopped Red Onion
2 Finely Chopped, Seeded JalapeƱo
Chopped Scallions
2 Chopped Roma Tomato
1 Sliced Avocado
Sour Cream
2 Cups Cooked Quinoa
Cumin
Sea Salt
Garlic Powder
Chipotle Powder

Sautee onion, red pepper, yellow pepper and jalapeno until slightly tender. Set aside.

Prepare 2 cups of cooked quinoa. Season to taste with sea salt, garlic powder, cumin and chipotle chili powder. I start with a sprinkle of each and taste to liking. The idea here is to season like taco meat. Once you get seasoning to where you want it, fold in warmed blackbeans.

Line a greased baking dish (bottom and up the sides) with corn tortillas. Add in a layer of the black bean and quinoa mix. Sprinkle with sauteed veggie mix and then add in a layer of cheese.

Add in another layer of tortillas, and then repeat above layer.

Top with cheese mixture and bake covered at 350 for about 30 minutes. Uncover and bake for another ten minutes to brown cheese.

Top with freshly chopped tomatoes, cilantro and scallions.

Cut and serve with sliced avocado,  and sour cream.

Enjoy!
