Ingredients:
2 cups water
1 cup quinoa
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
14 ounces black beans, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 pinch cayenne
1/4 cup fresh lime juice, divided (from 1-2 limes)
2 tomatoes, diced
1/2 avocado, pitted and diced
1/4 cup salsa
Directions:
1. Rinse the quinoa thoroughly in a mesh strainer or sieve, drain.
2. Heat water in a sauce pan and bring to a boil. Add quinoa, stir, and return to a boil. Lower heat, cover, and simmer about 15-20 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to steam for 10-15 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a medium skillet over medium high heat. Add onions and cook until softened. Add garlic and cook 1 minute. Add balck beans, half of cilantro, chili powder, cayenne, and 2 tablespoons lime juice. Reduce heat to low.
4. When the quinoa is fully cooked, remove from heat and fluff with a fork. Stir in remaining cilantro and remaining lime juice. To assemble bowls, divide quinoa between three bowls. Top with black beans, tomatoes, avocado, and salsa. Serve warm.
