2 tsp dried oregano
11⁄2 tsp chipotle chile powder
3 cans (14 to 19 oz each) black beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup quinoa, rinsed
1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes
3 cups ready-to-use reduced-sodium vegetable or chicken broth
1 tbsp finely grated lime zest
1⁄4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
Fine sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup plain Greek yogurt
Directions:
1. In a large pot, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onions and cook, stirring, for 6 to 8 minutes or until softened. Add garlic, chili powder, cumin, oregano and chipotle chile powder; cook, stirring, for 1 minute.
2. In a small bowl, coarsely mash one-third of the beans with a potato masher or fork. Stir mashed beans, whole beans, quinoa, tomatoes and broth into the pot. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring often, for about 30 minutes to blend the flavors. Stir in lime zest and lime juice. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
