Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Quinoa
- 2 cups Water
- 1 can Canned black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 1 large Cucumber, diced
- 1 large Avocado
- 0.5 small Red onion, finely chopped
- 2 cups Lettuce leaves, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.75 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Instructions
Rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a medium-sized saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the quinoa, a pinch of salt, and reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for about 15 minutes or until the quinoa is light and fluffy. Once cooked, fluff with a fork and set aside to cool.
While the quinoa is cooking, prepare the vegetables. Halve the cherry tomatoes, dice the cucumber, and chop the lettuce leaves.
For the avocado dressing, cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh into a small bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork. Add lemon juice, olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until a creamy consistency is achieved.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, black beans, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, lettuce, and red onion. Toss the ingredients together gently.
Drizzle the avocado dressing over the quinoa mixture and toss again to coat all the ingredients evenly.
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro.
Divide the deconstructed burger bowl into 4 serving bowls.
