Step-By-Step Instructions:
- Bring the water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add the quinoa and boil until the liquid has almost evaporated. Reduce the heat to medium low and cook, loosely covered, until the quinoa is tender, about 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and fluff with a fork.
- Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, bell pepper, and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender, about 8 minutes. Add the beans, broth, tomato sauce, salt, and pepper, and cook 5 minutes.
- Stir in the quinoa and heat through.
