Quinoa Enchilada Bake

A delicious sweet potato, black bean, and corn Quinoa Enchilada Bake is a nutrition-loaded casserole the whole family will love. While this dish is vegetarian, you won’t miss the meat in this protein-loaded nutritious dinner!

Quinoa (pronounced KEEN-wah) is a super-healthy grain with significant protein. It cooks quickly, too. The only thing to watch out for is this: Quinoa has a natural coating called saponin which can make it taste bitter. Before cooking it, rinse the quinoa in a fine-mesh strainer for 30 seconds to one minute. Saponin helps protect the quinoa plant from pests (because the bitter taste discourages bugs from eating it), so it’s a good thing, but we don’t want that bitterness in our quinoa dishes.To make Quinoa Enchilada Bake vegan: Simply omit the cheese or use a vegan cheese! Since a lot of flavor does come from the cheese, if you’re leaving it out, make sure you have plenty of toppings! To make this meal dairy free: Omit the cheese and make sure to add plenty of toppings! To make this meal gluten free: Ensure the enchilada sauce you’re using is gluten free, as well as any other canned products.
