  • 2 cups water or vegetable broth
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

For the bowl:

  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 avocado, sliced

  • juice of 1 lime
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • optional toppings: shredded cheese, sour cream, or hot sauce

Instructions

  1. Prepare the quinoa: In a saucepan, bring quinoa and water or broth to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until all liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and let sit covered for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
  2. Cook the bowl ingredients: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and add chili powder, cumin, and garlic powder. Stir in the black beans, corn, and red bell pepper. Cook for 3–4 minutes until heated through and slightly softened.
  3. Assemble the bowls: Divide quinoa between bowls and top with the bean and corn mixture, avocado slices, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and cilantro. Squeeze fresh lime juice over each bowl and season with salt and pepper to taste. Add any optional toppings as desired.
