Quinoa
- Cook quinoa as directed on packaging. Once cooked, set aside and cook vegetable mixture.

- In a large pan, add olive oil and garlic and let simmer on medium heat. Add in chopped onions, zucchini, peas, carrots and corn mix and let cook for about 20-25 minutes. Add in about 1/4 cup of water at a time so the veggies don't stick to the pan as needed. Continue to add water if veggies are dry or sticking to the pan.
- Once frozen vegetables are cooked, add in black beans and let cook for about 5 minutes.
- Add in quinoa and stir together with a wooden spoon or spatula.
- Add in all your spices and stir everything together. Continue cooking for another 5 minutes.
- Once cooked, turn off the heat, place in a serving bowl and enjoy!
