Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the Quinoa

    Rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a medium saucepan, combine quinoa with 2 cups of water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Dressing

    In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, chipotle powder, salt, and pepper to taste.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Bowl

    In a large bowl, layer the mixed greens, followed by the cooked quinoa, corn, black beans, and sliced avocado. Drizzle the dressing over the top and toss gently to combine.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Divide the Southwestern Quinoa Bowl into serving bowls and serve immediately.
