Quinoa Chili

1/2 tablespoon olive oil

1 medium onion, diced

1 tablespoons chili powder

1 tablespoon cumin powder

1 ½ teaspoons onion powder

1.5 teaspoons garlic powder

1 teaspoon paprika

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1 cup quinoa, uncooked and rinsed

3 cups low-sodium vegetable broth

1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder

1 15oz can of your favorite beans - rinsed well

salt and pepper, to taste

Optional: add peppers for an added veggie

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil.

Add the onion and sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until the onions are soft.

Season with the chili powder, cumin powder, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika and cayenne pepper.

Add the vegetable broth and the quinoa.

Bring to a boil and then lower heat to a simmer.

Simmer for 10 minutes.

Add the beans, cocoa powder, nutritional yeast and salt and pepper to taste.

Turn heat up to high, bring back up to a boil and then lower to a simmer for 20-30minutes, or until the quinoa has finished cooking.

While quinoa is cooking, stir occasionally so that the chili does not stick to the bottom of the pan.

Serve and enjoy!
