Preparation

Step 1

In a 12" skillet, heat the oil on medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until it begins to brown. Toss in the red pepper, onion, and garlic, sautéing until the onions begin to turn translucent, about 3–5 minutes. Season with the chili powder, cumin, paprika, oregano, salt, and cayenne. Cook for another minute. Put in the chicken stock, tomatoes, beans, corn, and quinoa. Stir and cover with a lid.


Let simmer until the quinoa is cooked, about 15–20 minutes. Remove the lid. Sprinkle the cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses, followed by the scallions, and cover with the lid. Allow the cheese to melt.


Serve in the skillet with avocado, cilantro, and lime wedges
