Slow Cooker Quinoa Chicken Chili
This chicken chili is made a whole lot heartier with some quinoa. Quinoa has a ton of protein and is a great addition to an already protein packed chili.

- 1 (28 ounce) can of diced tomatoes
- 1 (14 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chilies
- 1 (15 ounce) can of black beans, rinsed and drained

- 2 teaspoons cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes

- toppings of your choice, (cheese, sour cream, avocados, and tortilla strips)
Instructions
- Make sure you rinse the quinoa and then add everything into a 6 quart slow cooker.
