Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Quinoa Chili.
Step 1
Begin by heating a stockpot over medium-high heat, then add the chopped onion and minced garlic.
Step 2
Sauté them until they become tender and fragrant, which should take about 5 to 10 minutes.
Step 3
Next, introduce the undrained canned tomatoes, tomato sauce, chili beans, kidney beans, chili powder, ground cumin, salt, and sugar into the pot.
Step 4
Pour in 2 cups of water and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Step 5
Allow it to cook for approximately 1 hour, letting the flavors meld beautifully.
Step 6
Meanwhile, in a separate saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a rolling boil.
Step 7
Stir in the quinoa, then reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and let it simmer until the quinoa is fluffy and the water has been absorbed, which will take around 15 to 20 minutes.
Step 8
Once the quinoa is ready, fold it into the chili, stirring well to combine all the delicious elements before serving.

Enjoy this hearty dish that warms both the body and soul!.
