A delightful and hearty casserole combining quinoa, beans, and vegetables, topped with melted cheese for a comforting meal.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and proper texture.
In a 2-quart casserole dish, combine the diced tomatoes, black beans, frozen corn, quinoa, garlic powder, ground cumin, ground coriander, salt, and pepper.
Mix thoroughly to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
Cover the casserole dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
Covering with foil helps retain moisture during cooking.
Remove the foil, stir the mixture, and return it to the oven uncovered for another 20 minutes or until the quinoa is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
Stirring ensures even cooking and prevents sticking.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top and broil for 1-2 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Keep an eye on the broiler to avoid burning the cheese.
Serve the casserole warm with a dollop of sour cream on top.
Garnish with fresh cilantro or green onions for added flavor and color.
