Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole Avocados
- 1 cup Cooked quinoa
- 1 cup Black beans
- 0.5 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 0.25 cup Red onion
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Cut the avocados in half lengthwise and remove the pits. Scoop out a small amount of the flesh from the center of each half to create a slightly larger hole for the stuffing, being careful to leave some flesh intact. Set the removed avocado flesh aside.
In a medium bowl, mash the removed avocado flesh with a fork. Add the cooked quinoa, black beans, diced cherry tomatoes, red onion, and chopped cilantro.
Drizzle the mixture with lime juice and olive oil. Sprinkle in the ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Taste the filling and adjust seasonings as needed.
Spoon the quinoa and black bean mixture equally into the hollowed avocado halves.
Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to 1 hour before serving. Enjoy!
