Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup quinoa
- 2 cups water
- 1 can black beans, canned (drained and rinsed)
- 2 pieces chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon chipotle powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 large avocado
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup corn kernels
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- to taste salt
- to taste black pepper
Instructions
Rinse the quinoa under cold water using a fine mesh strainer.
In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the quinoa, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the water is absorbed and quinoa is tender.
While the quinoa is cooking, season the chicken breasts with chipotle powder, cumin, salt, and pepper.
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken breasts and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and golden brown.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, black beans, corn, cherry tomatoes, and lime juice. Mix well to incorporate all ingredients.
Divide the quinoa mixture into 4 bowls.
Top each bowl with the sliced chicken, diced avocado, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.
Serve immediately, garnished with additional lime wedges if desired.
