With a large family, I love these one skillet dishes where, for at least 15 minutes, I can 'set it and forget it!' And the kids love it! Serve it for Cinco de Mayo or any night of the week!

👨‍🍳 Instructions

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Saute jalapeño pepper and garlic in hot oil until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Stir black beans, tomatoes, yellow corn, quinoa, and chicken broth into skillet; season with red pepper flakes, chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper.

Bring to a boil, cover the skillet with a lid, reduce heat to low, and simmer until quinoa is tender and liquid is mostly absorbed, about 20 minutes.

Stir avocado, lime juice, and cilantro into quinoa until combined.
