bake on Pinterest I decided I needed to give it a shot!
Not only is it delicious but it’s also guilt-free!

In a large saucepan of 2 cups water, cook quinoa according to package instructions; set aside.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly oil a baking dish.
In a large bowl, combine quinoa, enchilada sauce, corn, black beans, cilantro, cumin and chili powder; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Stir in 1/2 cup cheddar cheese and 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese.
