    Instructions

    • Chop onions, garlic, and jalapeno if adding.  *Don't worry about chopping the vegetables for the avocado sauce at this time, you can do that later. 
    • In a large skillet with a lid, add about 2 tbsp of vegetable stock over medium heat. 
    • Add in onion and saute for 2-3 minutes until it starts to get soft.
    • Add in garlic and cook for 1 minute.
    • Add in your seasonings: chili powder, red pepper flakes, cumin, smoked paprika, oregano, and salt, along with the tomato paste and jalapeno if adding. Stir together well. *It's okay if all the tomato paste isn't combined entirely. 
    • Stir in rinsed, drained quinoa.  Combine until all the tomato paste is incorporated. Toast the quinoa for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly.
    • Add in remaining vegetable stock, beans and corn and bring to a boil.
    • Cover and lower the heat to simmer.  Cook for 15 minutes.
    • If a lot of liquid remains, cook another 3-5 minutes. 
    • Turn off heat, leaving covered for an additional 5 minutes. 
    • Remove lid, stir together again and serve with your favorite taco shells and toppings. 

    Avocado Sauce

    • While the quinoa mixture is cooking, add all the sauce ingredients to a blender and blend until well combined (it should be smooth)
    • Once quinoa and black bean mixture is done, put on top of tacos with your favorite toppings and avocado sauce if made.
