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

Directions

Step 1

Start by cooking the quinoa if it is not already prepared. Follow the package instructions and allow it to cool slightly.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Dice the avocado flesh you removed and set it aside for the filling.

Step 4

In a medium bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, black beans, diced avocado, cherry tomatoes (halved), and finely diced red onion.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Spoon the quinoa and black bean mixture into the hollowed-out avocado halves, generously filling each one.

Step 7

Serve immediately as a light meal or appetizer. Optionally, garnish with extra cilantro or a small drizzle of lime juice for added freshness.
