Mondo Lunch Special Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Cook the Quinoa

   In a medium pot, add 1 cup of quinoa and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let stand for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.

2. 2

   Grill the Chicken

   Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Grill for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

3. 3

   Prepare the Salad

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, black beans, halved cherry tomatoes, and chopped fresh cilantro. Drizzle with lime juice and olive oil, and season with additional salt and pepper to taste. Toss gently to combine.

4. 4

   Slice the Avocado

   Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh out with a spoon. Cut the avocado into slices.

5. 5

   Assemble the Mondo Lunch Special

   To serve, create a bed of the quinoa salad on a plate. Top with sliced grilled chicken and avocado. Garnish with additional cilantro if desired.
