Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, bring quinoa & broth to a boil, then reduce heat to low & cover & simmer 15 minutes, or until fluffy. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.Once hot, add onion & saute until tender, about 4 minutes, adding garlic during last 30 seconds of sauteing. Add onion mixture to cooked quinoa, along with black beans, corn, cumin, paprika, coriander, cayenne, lime juice & honey, 3 Tbsp chopped cilantro & toss mixture. Season with salt & pepper to taste. Cut cooked sweet potatoes in half and scoop out some of the sweet potato flesh to create a bowl shape, while leaving about 1/3 to 1/2-inch of sweet potato intact (reserve scooped out potato in refrigerator for another use). Fill sweet potatoes with quinoa mixture, then sprinkle tops evenly with cheese. Transfer to oven & broil until cheese has melted. Serve warm garnished with cilantro & sour cream if desired.Serving Size: Makes 8 servingsNumber of Servings: 8Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user ZPOST72.
