Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole Avocados
- 1 cup Cooked quinoa
- 1 cup Black beans
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 0.25 cup Red onion
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Start by cooking the quinoa if it is not already prepared. Follow the package instructions and allow it to cool slightly.
Cut the avocados in half lengthwise and remove the pits. Use a spoon to gently scoop out some of the avocado flesh, leaving about 1/4-inch of avocado around the edges to support the structure.
Dice the avocado flesh you removed and set it aside for the filling.
In a medium bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, black beans, diced avocado, cherry tomatoes (halved), and finely diced red onion.
Add the chopped cilantro, lime juice, olive oil, ground cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix everything together until well combined.
Spoon the quinoa and black bean mixture into the hollowed-out avocado halves, generously filling each one.
Serve immediately as a light meal or appetizer. Optionally, garnish with extra cilantro or a small drizzle of lime juice for added freshness.
