Equipment

  • Stove

Ingredients

  • 1 each red onion minced
  • 5 each garlic cloves minced
  • 4 tbsp chili powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 1/4 cup tomato, crushed
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp liquid smoke
  • 1 quart kidney beans
  • 1/3 cup quinoa cooked

Instructions

  • Add 1/4 inch of water to a medium pot and bring to a simmer. Add the onion and garlic cloves. Cook for 3-5 mins until the onions are translucent. Add more water as needed. 
  • Add the chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, sea salt and black pepper to the pot and stir well. Cook for 2-3 more mins.
