Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup chopped sweet onion
- 1 can (7 oz) chopped green chiles
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 can (15.5 oz) black beans rinsed and drained
- 2 cups cooked quinoa
- 1 can (8 oz) tomato sauce
- 4-6 oz water

Instructions
Heat oil over medium heat in a large (10" or more) oven-proof skillet or cast iron pan. Sauté onions until nearly translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add chopped green chilies, chili powder, cumin, and oregano, and cook for one minute more. Add black beans, corn, quinoa, tomato sauce and water. Simmer, uncovered, until slightly thickened; about 10 minutes.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar over the top, and put pan under pre-heated broiler in the over for 1-2 minutes, until melted and bubbly. Portion into bowls and serve topped with plain yogurt, chopped red onion, avocado, cheddar, or any toppings you wish!
