RECIPE:
Add olive oil to a large pot on the stove over medium heat. Add diced onion, a pinch of salt and pepper, the mashed garlic, chili powder, cumin, and coconut sugar (if using). Stir frequently, about 4-5 minutes. Next, add the diced tomatoes, chipotles in adobo, the diced tomatoes, beans, and quinoa, stirring again. Finally, add the tomato sauce and vegetable broth. Bring to a gentle boil, then turn the heat to low, cover and cook for 20-22 minutes, until the quinoa is cooked through. Stir in the lime juice and add salt and pepper to taste. Garnish as desired, I am using crushed potato chips, cheese, yogurt, chopped jalapeño and cilantro.
