Quinoa

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

Vegetable/Bean 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!
