Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Quinoa
- 2 cups Water
- 1 can (15 oz) Black beans
- 1 cup Corn
- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- 1 large Avocado
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium Lime
- 1 teaspoon Chipotle chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro
Instructions
Rinse 1 cup of quinoa under cold water until the water runs clear to remove the natural coating called saponin.
In a medium saucepan, combine quinoa and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the quinoa is tender.
While the quinoa is cooking, rinse and drain the black beans from the can and set aside.
Chop the red bell pepper into small cubes, and halve the cherry tomatoes. Peel and pit the avocado, and cut it into cubes. Chop the fresh cilantro.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, black beans, corn, chopped red bell pepper, cherry tomatoes, and avocado.
For the dressing, in a small bowl whisk together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of chipotle chili powder, 1 teaspoon of cumin powder, juice of 1 lime, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper.
Pour the dressing over the quinoa and vegetable mixture, and toss thoroughly to coat all the ingredients evenly.
Garnish with the chopped fresh cilantro before serving.
Serve the Dairy-Free Chipotle High Protein Bowl immediately, or store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
