Number Of Ingredients 17

1 cup uncooked quinoa, rinsed
1/2 cup water
1 small onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 red pepper, seeds removed, diced
2 (15 oz) cans black beans, rinsed and drained
2 (10 oz) cans Old El Paso™ mild red enchilada sauce
1 (15 oz) can diced tomatoes
1 (4.5 oz) can Old El Paso™ chopped green chiles

1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon chili powder
1/3 cup chopped cilantro
Salt and black pepper, to taste
1 1/2 cups shredded Mexican cheese
