Method
- For the casserole: 1.
- Preheat oven to 375 F. In a large frying pan on medium-low heat, add half of the olive oil with the garlic.
- Let the garlic cook for 2 minutes, until it becomes aromatic.
- 2.
- Add in the black beans and vegetable broth and bring to a boil.
- Once it reaches a boil, reduce it to a simmer and let it cook for another 5-7 minutes until the broth has thickened.
- Remove from heat.
- Lightly mash the bean mixture and set aside.
- 3.
- Meanwhile, in a separate medium frying pan, heat the remaining half of the olive oil on medium heat.
- Add in the bell peppers and corn and let them roast on medium-high without stirring for 5 minutes.
- Give them a quick stir, then let them roast again for another 5 minutes without stirring.
- This will give them a nice brown, toasty texture.
- 4.
- In a large bowl, toss the cooked quinoa (best if warm) with the juice of the lime, paprika, cumin, cayenne pepper, salt and black pepper.
- 5.
- Add in the bean mixture, corn and peppers and toss well.
- 6.
- Lay out the mixture in a glass baking dish (13 x 9) and top with the shredded cheese.
- 7.
- Place on the middle rack of your oven and bake at 375 F for 20-25 minutes.
- For the avocado cream: 1.
- Put the garlic, avocado, lime juice, herbs, yogurt, olive oil, salt and black pepper in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth, yet thick.
- Adjust amounts of Greek yogurt or olive oil to reach your desired consistency.
- 2.
