Instructions

  1. 1Heat the olive oil in a large pot. Add the chopped onion and red bell pepper and sauté for 5 minutes, until the vegetables soften.
  2. 2Add the chicken to the pot and cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes, until lightly browned on all sides. Add the garlic, cumin, paprika and chili, and stir for 1 minute, until the spices become fragrant.
  3. 3Stir in the rinsed quinoa, chopped tomatoes and chicken stock. Increase the heat until the liquid comes to a boil.
  4. 4Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot and cook for 15–20 minutes, or until the quinoa is cooked and has absorbed most of the liquid.
  5. 5Add the black beans and corn to the stew. Cook for another 5 minutes, until all the ingredients are heated through and the flavors combine.
  6. 6Before serving, stir in the lime juice, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with fresh cilantro and avocado slices.
