1 cup corn, canned |
1/4 cup jalapeno, diced |
1/4 cup salsa |
1/3 cup broth |
1 cup quinoa, toasted |
1 lb 97% lean ground beef |
2 tablespoons taco seasoning |
3/4 cup water |

sour cream |
cilantro |
lime |

3. 3. Pour into a 2 quart baking dish and cover with foil. Bake for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and stir. Replace foil and bake another 30 minutes.
