Ingredients:

Serving

1 tbsp vegetable oil
2 cups white onions, chopped
1 cup red bell pepper, chopped
1 cup quinoa, rinsed and drained
2 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups water
1 (15 oz) can black beans, rinsed and drained
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped, divided
crumbled cotija cheese (optional, can use feta)

Directions:

Heat oil in heavy medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onions and red pepper; saute until beginning to soften, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the next 4 ingredients.
Add water; bring to a boil.
Cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until quinoa is almost tender, about 14 minutes.
Add beans and 1/4 cup cilantro; cook uncovered until heated through and liquid is fully absorbed, about 3 minutes.
Transfer to a bowl; sprinkle with 1/4 cup cilantro, and the cheese, if using.
