Ingredients

• 1 cup quinoa
• 2 cups water
• 1 15 oz can, drained and rinsed black beans
• 1 cup, halved cherry tomatoes
• 1 cup corn kernels
• 1 large, diced avocado
• 2 cups baby spinach
• 0.5 small, finely chopped red onion
• 1 tablespoon, minced chipotle in adobo sauce
• 1 large, juiced lime
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 0.25 cup, fresh, chopped cilantro
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the quinoa under cold water until the water runs clear, then drain.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the rinsed quinoa, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the water is absorbed and the quinoa is tender.

Step 3

Remove the quinoa from the heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff the quinoa with a fork and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the black beans, cherry tomatoes, corn, avocado, baby spinach, and red onion.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together the minced chipotle, lime juice, olive oil, chopped cilantro, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 6

Add the cooked quinoa to the vegetable mixture. Pour the chipotle dressing over the top and toss gently until everything is well coated and evenly distributed.

Step 7

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 8

Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 days. This bowl is delicious either cold or at room temperature.
