Instructions
Heat the oil over medium-high heat in a 10.5-inch skillet (one that has a lid). Add the onion and cook for a couple of minutes. Add the bell pepper and continue to cook for another two minutes. Add the ground chicken to the pan and cook, breaking it up with a spatula or spoon as it browns.
Once the chicken is fully cooked, add the seasonings, and mix to coat the meat and vegetables while it cooks for a minute more.
Stir in the water, tomato sauce, beans, corn and quinoa. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and let simmer, stirring occasionally, until quinoa is tender and translucent, about 25 minutes. Stir in the cilantro and serve with lime wedges.
