Ingredients
1/2 cup raw quinoa, rinsed1 tablespoon olive oil1 medium onion, minced1/2 medium green bell pepper, finely diced15- to 16-ounce can pinto or red beans,drained, rinsed, and coarsely mashed (or 1 1/2 cups cooked)1 cup tomato sauce1 medium tomato, finely diced1 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce 1 teaspoon chili powder, or more, to taste1 teaspoon paprika1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
Combine the quinoa with 1 cup water in a small saucepan. Bring to a slow boil, then lower the heat, cover, and simmer until the water is absorbed, about 15 minutes.
Heat the oil in a medium skillet. Add the onion and sauté until translucent. Add the bell pepper and sauté until both are golden.
Add the remaining ingredients except the last two, and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook over medium-low heat, loosely covered, for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Let the skillet stand off the heat for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to mingle further and for the quinoa to absorb the tomatoey flavors.
For each serving, spoon some of the filling onto the bottoms of whole-grain rolls and cover with the tops. Or, you can serve these open-faced.
