Ingredients

    1/2 cup chopped onion
    1 tbsp olive oil
    1 cup quinoa
    2 cans tomatoes
    1 can corn
    1 can black beans

Directions

Thoroughly rinse quinoa to remove the bitter tasting residue on the seeds.
Drain tomatoes, reserving liquid.
Heat oil in a large pot and add chopped onions. You can also add any herbs and spices you may want. I use thyme and chile peppers. Cook the onions until translucent.
Measure 2 cups of the tomato liquid and add to the cooking onions. Add the rinsed quinoa, bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer for about 10-12 minues.
Add the drained beans and corn and mix thoroughly. This is good hot or cold.
