From Jenny Sugar, POPSUGAR Fitness
Ingredients
- 1 cup uncooked quinoa
1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
3 roma tomatoes, diced
1/2 red bell pepper, diced
1/2 cup frozen corn
3 large eggs
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1/2 cup fresh cilantro
1 cup salsa (plus extra for dipping)
Directions
- Place the uncooked quinoa and two cups water in a covered pot. Bring to boil, and then simmer for 15 to 20 minutes or until quinoa is tender. Allow to cool for 10 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Mix together all ingredients in a large mixing bowl (save some salsa for dipping).
- Distribute mixture into a greased muffin tin, filling each cup to the top (about two heaping tablespoons each), and press down gently with the back of a spoon to compact.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from the pan. Serve warm with salsa for dipping.
