Starts off as a stir fry, then morphs into a stove top casserole.

With cooked quinoa and black beans on hand, this recipe makes a quick
and satisfying supper, and an excellent take along lunch the next
day, if there's any left!

For a spicier dish, use a HOT chili pepper, or a whole jalapeno
pepper, and/or add a pinch of cayenne or chipotle powder to the
spices.

Prepare vegetables.

Chop the cilantro and avocado and set aside.

Heat the oil on medium low in a large saute pan or Dutch oven.

Add onion and celery, stir fry until soft.

Add the garlic, jalapeno, red pepper, and carrot. Stir fry until
tender crisp.

Add the kale and stir until wilted and bright green.

Add the herbs and spices, salt and pepper to taste. Stir fry 1 minute.

Stir in the lime juice, then the black beans and quinoa.

Cover and simmer on the stove top for 5 minutes or until heated
through.

Serve topped with yogurt or sour cream, avocado chunks, a sprinkle of
cilantro and squirt of lime or lemon.
