Ingredients

• 2 whole Avocado
• 1 cup Cooked quinoa
• 1 cup Black beans (cooked, drained, and rinsed)
• 0.5 cup Cherry tomatoes
• 0.25 cup Red onion
• 2 tablespoons Cilantro (chopped)
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Slice the avocados in half lengthwise and remove the pits.

Step 2

Using a spoon, carefully scoop out some of the avocado flesh from the center of each half, creating a slightly larger cavity for the filling. Reserve the scooped avocado flesh and set the avocado halves aside.

Step 3

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, black beans, cherry tomatoes (halved or quartered), red onion (finely diced), and chopped cilantro.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, ground cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to make a dressing.

Step 5

Dice the reserved scooped avocado flesh and gently fold it into the quinoa mixture.

Step 6

Pour the dressing over the quinoa mixture and toss gently to combine, ensuring the ingredients are evenly coated.

Step 7

Spoon the quinoa and black bean mixture into the hollowed-out avocado halves, dividing it evenly among the four halves.

Step 8

Serve immediately as a fresh, protein-packed meal or snack. Optional: Garnish with extra cilantro or a sprinkle of chili flakes for added flavor.
