When I saw this recipe for Slow Cooker Mexican Quinoa and Black Beans from 365 Days of Slow Cooking, I was intrigued with the idea, especially since I’m such a fan of cooking rice in the slow cooker. Then I realized how perfect this was for our Summer Dinners category, as well as being a wonderful idea for Meatless Monday and I liked Karen’s idea even more. Quinoa is a high-protein seed with a slightly nutty flavor that’s cooked as a grain; pronounced “keen-wah.”

July 15, 2013 at 4:52 pmI made this over the weekend because I had everything on hand except the avocado and salsa, and it turned out great. I was tempted to swap out the salsa for a can of Rotel in the pantry, but went ahead and got the fresh. Will try the Rotel next time!
