  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 1 inch piece of ginger
  • 2 stalks celery
  • 2 carrots
  • 1 orange bell pepper
  • 1.5 cups uncooked quinoa

  • Peel and chop up the onion, ginger, and garlic.
  • Add the olive oil and the chopped onion, ginger, and garlic to a heavy bottom pan set on a stovetop set at medium flame/heat and let sauté for about 8 minutes. Make sure to stir often so the onion, ginger, and garlic do not get burned.
  • While the onion, ginger, and garlic are sautéing, wash and chop up the celery, carrots, and bell pepper.
  • Add these to the pan and stir well for a minute.
  • Then, turn up the heat/flame on the stove and add in the enchilada sauce, vegetable stock, fire-roasted tomatoes, and uncooked quinoa, and bring to a boil.
  • Then cover the enchilada quinoa and lower the flame to low/medium and let cook for 15 minutes.
  • When ready, remove the pan from the stove and remove the cover.
  • Then add in the cheddar cheese and stir well.
  • Top with diced jalapeños, parsley, and avocado, and enjoy!
