Chili vegetarian Quinoa

There's nothing like a good bowl of chili on a cold autumn day! Instead of meat, I added more beans and quinua really 'strengthening' the recipe! Without meat, this recipe is still a whopping 10-13 grams of protein per cup! Chile does not usually associated with "clean" or healthy words and certainly not vegan. However, the entire family can enjoy this totally guilt-free Chile! So if your vegan, or we just want a healthier Chile, your gonna love super easy recipe! 1 teaspoon oil 1 minced olive 1/2 can of 28 oz onion3-5 cloves garlic 1 jar 14 oz of your favorite organic salsa3 1 diced tomatoes cans of beans of choice: I like to use one of each of the following (for more color): black, red and white/canelli kidney beans2 cups quinoa * 1 tablespoon chili powder 2 teaspoons cumin1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (opcionalPero think that you) give a little more "something") * use vegetable broth as needed which reduce the chili. I start with 1/2 a cup and add more if necessary. This depends on how thick you like it. I recommend looking for a low content of sodium organic broth.
* Generally a great well of quinoa I have already prepared during the week in the refrigerator, but if not - just follow the regular quinoa cooking time, then add to your chili. :) 1 Saute the onion and garlic in the olive oil in a large pit up to golden.2. Add remaining ingredients and stir well.3. Cook on medium heat until everything is well mixed and heated through.4 continue. Add your favorite ingredients and enjoy!Some of my favorite healthy toppings!Chopped OnionAvacadoParsleyCilantroGreek yoghurt (sour cream alternative healthy and not vegan haha) grated cheese (not vegetarian again and not you get crazy with it!)
