What You'll Need
Ingredients
  • 2 cups Quinoa
  • 4 cups Vegetable Broth

  • 1 handful Cilantro, chopped

  • 1 handful Corn Tortilla Chips
Directions
  1. Cook quinoa using vegetable broth, per package instructions.

  4. Combined black beans and quinoa, add cilantro, lime juice, salt and pepper.
  5. Serve mixture in deep bowls, topping with cubed avocado and a few blue corn tortilla chips. Add an extra spritz of lime to tortilla chips and avocado. Lightly drizzle with sriracha. Salt and pepper to taste.

Just enjoyed this for lunch with the addition of a sweet red pepper, diced tomatoes and diced red onion. I put some ground coriander, chilli powder and cumin in the stock I cooked the quinoa in as well. Arriba! Delicious!
