Ingredients:  
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 jalapenos, minced
1 cup quinoa
1 cup vegetable broth
1 (15-ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 (14.5 oz) can fire-roasted diced tomatoes

Directions:
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add garlic and jalapeno, and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Stir in quinoa, vegetable broth, beans, tomatoes, corn, chili powder and cumin; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat and simmer until quinoa is cooked through, about 20 minutes. Stir in avocado, lime juice and cilantro.

*I've made this without the cilantro and avocado because I didn't have any and it still turned out delicious! You can also play with the recipe and add things like red and green peppers, etc.

I love one pan meals and this one is super easy because you literally just through everything in at one time and let it cook. This is also really healthy and tastes good leftover.
