3 Bean Southwestern Quinoa Skillet Dinner

Jump to recipe

Thanks for joining me and Sarah for Meatless Monday today! Hope all of you mothers had a fabulous day yesterday. So Cinco De Mayo might have been last week but I can never get enough avocado can you? I whipped this 3 bean Southwestern Quinoa skillet dinner up last week and just loved it. You all know I am all about easy dinners and this one is made all in one skillet. Bonus it was great cold the next day for a salad and the next day in an omelet. Multipurpose meals are the best aren’t they?

First off-I am obsessed with this vegetable chopper. It makes it so easy to chop things like onions and jalapenos that you might not want on your hands. I love it for lettuce and all kinds of veggies too.

3 Bean Southwestern Quinoa Skillet

My favorite way to enjoy this 3 bean Southwestern skillet was inside of some corn tortillas with avocado and salsa but eating it with eggs the next morning was fantastic as well. It’s vegan, gluten free and very easy to make. The whole meal is done in the same skillet on the stove and can also be served in skillet as well. Less pots and pans to wash!

Loaded with plant based protein and healthy whole grains this 3 Bean Southwestern quinoa skillet is the perfect meal to refuel you after a tough workout and feed the whole family. You can easily make it as spicy or mild as you wish to meet your family’s needs.

I made the yummiest salad for our mother’s day dinner last night and can’t wait to share it with you soon. Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!

    A friend of mine just sent me a recipe for a quinoa enchilada bake that looks similar. We’re working it into our dinner rotation this week but this looks a little simpler so I may combine the two recipes 🙂

    This looks so good! I love one skillet meals and adore spicy food, so this is a win/win!

    (On your Click to Tweet…when you tag someone at the beginning of the tweet you should put a period or something at the beginning or else only they and people who follow you both will see it. I did when I tweeted it. I wasn’t sure if it was supposed to be a hashtag.)

    Looks delicious! The first thing I thought was all the leftover peppers and things laying around that are leftover from Cinco de Mayo, this is perfect to use them up! I could have Mexican every night, if only my girls shared that same burning love. Happy Meatless Monday my friend.

  15. Elaine @myRUNexperiment says

    This looks delicious and super easy to make! I have a girls game night this week so I plan to make this dish to bring topped with avocado and served with tortilla chips. Thanks for sharing it!

  17. Jessica @ Semi-Sweet Tooth says

    This looks delicious! I’m totally on board that avocado pretty much makes everything taste wonderful and delicious. I’ve been getting back into quinoa, too – I go back and forth on my thoughts on the texture fairly often – and this looks like a wonderful way to create a filling, nutritious meal featuring quinoa as the star.

    Looking forward to making this one night across the week. Yummin!

    So glad I found this linkup today. 🙂
    XO, Jessica

    Looks delicious! I love how easy Mexican dishes are to make at home. And of course, they’re so much healthier for you when you make them yourself instead of ordering them at a restaurant.

    I am eating beans again, trying to add more plant based foods to my diet. This looks very good!

  26. Sharon says

    This sounds and looks good! Adding it with salsa and avocado in a tortilla sounds yummy too! Thanks for sharing!

  27. Kimberly Hatting says

    Again…you have introduced me to another new thing…quinoa. Seriously, I do NOT live under a rock, but I am learning about all kinds of new things from you. Thanks!!

  32. Jenn says

    That vegetable chopper makes for some ridiculously amazing chopped salads. If you like that sort of thing. 🙂

    Another great recipe! Thanks!

  33. MCM Mama Runs says

    Looks yummy! I’m obsessed with the salad chopper that some of the restaurants use – somehow salad tastes so much better that way LOL.

  36. Eliza Smith says

    This is a nutrition-filled “healthy” vegan dish and it looks delicious, I will definitely try this recipe out. Thanks for sharing Deborah!
