Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 yellow onion (, chopped)
1 bell pepper (, chopped and seeds removed)
2 cloves garlic (, minced)
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
pinch of cayenne pepper
1 (25 oz) box chopped tomatoes ((nothing else added))
1.5 teaspoons fine sea salt
1 cup quinoa
1/2 cup red lentils
1 cup water
1.5 cups cooked black beans ((or one 15 oz. can, drained and rinsed))
fresh cilantro
avocado
sliced radishes

Method

1
Heat the olive oil in a 3.5 quart skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Sauté the onion and pepper until softened, about 8 minutes.
2
Add in the garlic, cumin, chili powder, and cayenne pepper, if using, and sauté until fragrant, about one more minute.
3
Add in the chopped tomatoes (with their juices), salt, quinoa, red lentils, water, and black beans. Stir well and bring the liquid to a boil. Cover and lower the heat to a simmer, cooking until the quinoa and lentils are tender, about 15 minutes.
4
Remove the lid and fluff with a fork. Serve warm with a topping of fresh cilantro, avocado slices, and radishes, if desired.
