Quinoa Chili

This is my favorite chili. The sour cream/avacado are important.

1 T canola or olive oil
1 large yellow onion, diced 
2 sweet green or red peppers, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2-3 teaspoons salt (or you can add it at the end)2 teaspoons cumin
2 teaspoons chili powder1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup quinoa, rinsed in warm water &amp drained
1-1 1/2 cup frozen corn
2 cans diced tomatoes (fire roasted are great-15 oz)
1 can black beans, rinsed & drained 
2 cups water

Heat oil in large pot over medium heat. Add onions, and sauté until tender and starting to caramelize 5+ minutes. Add salt, garlic, pepper and spices; sauté for 5 more minutes. Add rinsed quinoa and stir in. Add corn, tomatoes, and water.  Simmer together 20 minutes. Add beans to the pot and simmer another 10 minutes. Serve with grated cheese, sour cream, diced avocadoes and tortilla chips!  Makes 6-8 (1 Cup) Servings.  

I have made this in the Instant Pot by sautéing the onion/red pepper/garlic then adding all other ingredients and cooking at high pressure for 6 minutes (with quick release because we're always in a hurry...)
