6 servings
Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 red onion, diced
1 jalapeno pepper, diced
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup quinoa, rinsed and drained
1 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 cup corn (optional)
1 mango, peeled and diced
1 avocado - peeled, pitted, and diced
1 1/2 tablespoons lime juice
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat; cook and stir garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add onion, jalapeno pepper, and salt; cook and stir until onion is tender, 5 to 10 minutes.
