Ingredients
-
1 cup cooked quinoa
3 cups cooked black beans (or two
15-ounce cans, drained and rinsed)
2 large sweet potatoes, shredded
1 cup shredded Daiya non-dairy cheddar cheese
1 tbsp ground cumin
Liberal pinches salt and pepper
1/2 cup nutritional yeast

Tips
Nutritional yeast is full of protein and fiber, and many brands are fortified with B vitamins. These yellow flakes are tasty, too. Sprinkle them on or in any dish to replace cheese.

Directions
I cooked up a batch of dried beans that I seasoned with onions, garlic, chiles and spices. If you use canned beans, you might need more spices.
Serve this with steamed broccoli or wilted spinach.
1. Preheat oven to 350° F. Prepare a 9” x 9”
casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray.
2. In a large bowl, mix together the quinoa, black
beans, sweet potato, 1⁄2 cup of the Daiya, and
the cumin, salt, and pepper. In a small bowl,
mix together the nutritional yeast and the salsa. Pour the salsa mixture over the vegetables, then pour
everything into the prepared casserole dish.
3. Sprinkle the remaining Daiya over the top
and bake, uncovered, for 30 minutes. Garnish
with the cilantro.

I loved this recipe. I cooked my quinoa in vegetable broth and added sauteed onions and garlic to the casserole. I may not have grated the sweet potatoes finely enough as they were still a little firm but a few more minutes of cooking helped. All I had was peach salsa and it worked well! Thanks - 7/6/12
