Recipe Instructions

Step 1
Melt butter in a pan; add quinoa and cook over medium heat until toasty, 3 to 5 minutes. Add broth and tomatoes. Season with salt, pepper, and cayenne. Cover and cook on low to medium-low until quinoa appears soft and translucent, and the germ ring is visible along the outside edge of the grain, about 20 minutes.
Step 2
Add black beans, green onions, and cilantro to the quinoa. Stir and heat through.
