This one-pot Mexican quinoa stew makes a hearty and healthy vegan main course that the whole family can enjoy.

Ready in 40 mins, I like to serve it with crushed tortilla chips, diced avocado, fresh coriander, some (dairy-free) cream and grated cheese on top.

This dish is bursting with plant-based goodness. Quinoa and cracked wheat are cooked in a fragrant tomato sauce spiced with cumin, coriander, crushed chipotle, paprika, oregano and a dash of cinnamon. Black beans and red kidney beans boost the protein content of this Mexican quinoa stew recipe.

If you are looking for additional easy one-pot recipe ideas that everyone can enjoy, why not try my  One-Pot Mexican Rice Casserole? It makes a great healthy family meal with minimum fuss and mininum washing up!

Also my air fryer nachos are a crowd-pleaser that you can have ready to serve in a flash. If you fancy something fresh and vibrant, try my Mexican quinoa salad. My Vegetarian Tortilla Soup is also a crowd pleaser.

I hope you enjoy this Mexican quinoa stew recipe as much as I do. If you do make it, don’t forget to tag me on Instagram!
