Instructions:

In a large skillet, heat oil on medium.

Add jalapeño and garlic, sauté for about a minute.

Then, add broth, tomatoes, uncooked quinoa, chipotle powder, paprika, onion powder, & cumin. Stir to combine, cover and bring to low simmer. Simmer for 15 minutes, on low, occasionally stirring, until quinoa is cooked.

You can add a splash more broth if necessary during quinoa cooking time. Then, add in black beans and corn. Stir to heat through. Top with cheese and cover until the cheese is melted.
