Smoky Chipotle Fiesta Quinoa Bowl

Ingredients

• 1 cup Instant Quinoa
• 1.5 cups Water
• 1 can Canned Black Beans
• 1 can Canned Corn
• 1 can Canned Diced Tomatoes with Green Chiles (Rotel)
• 1/2 pepper Chipotle in Adobo Sauce
• 1 whole Lime
• 1/4 cup Fresh Cilantro
• 1 medium Avocado
• 1/4 tsp Salt
• 1/8 tsp Black Pepper
• 1/4 cup Tortilla Chips

Instructions

1. Prepare Quinoa: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine instant quinoa and water. Microwave on high for 2-3 minutes, or until water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside. (Alternatively, boil water in an electric kettle, pour over quinoa, cover, and let sit for 5 minutes).
2. Combine Bowl Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the thoroughly rinsed black beans, drained corn, and the entire can of diced tomatoes with green chiles (undrained).
3. Add Flavor: Finely mince the chipotle pepper and add it to the bowl along with the adobo sauce. Squeeze in the juice from the entire lime. Add salt and pepper.
4. Mix and Serve: Stir all ingredients in the large bowl until well combined. Add the cooked quinoa to the bowl and gently mix.
5. Garnish: Divide the mixture into two serving bowls. Top each with diced avocado, chopped fresh cilantro (if using), and crushed tortilla chips (if using) for extra crunch. Serve immediately.
