Quinoa Mexican Casserole

Directions

1. 1
   Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. 2
   Cook quinoa according to package directions, but use chicken stock instead of water (more flavor).
3. 3
   Once almost completely done, stir in 2 teaspoons of Mexican spices.
4. 4
   * I have a spice mix that was made for me by a family friend, but you can use anything you would typically spice tacos with (cumin, cayenne, salt, garlic, oregano, etc).
5. 5
   In a medium size bowl, mix together all of the remaining ingredients except quinoa and cheese.
6. 6
   Mix in the remaining spices, lime juice, and salt and pepper to taste.
7. 7
   Once quinoa is done, use a 1.5 quart loaf dish or something similar, layer some of the quinoa then some of the veggie mixture, sprinkle some cheese over top.
8. 8
   Repeat this process, like making a lasagna, until dish is full.
9. 9
   Bake for about 25 minutes.

    Then sprinkle a little more cheese on top at the end and broil on high until cheese is nice and bubbly.
11. 11
    Serve with fresh pieces of avocado.
12. 12
    ** You can add a variety of different vegetables to this.
13. 13
    I think squash, zucchini, corn, and a variety of other things would be wonderful.
