INGREDIENTS
1 cup cooked black beans
1 cup cooked quinoa
3 ounces extra-firm tofu, sautéed
1/4 medium avocado
1 lime (for juice and zest)
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp olive oil
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse and drain the black beans if using canned. Set aside.
Cook quinoa according to package instructions. Fluff with a fork once done.
Press and dice the extra-firm tofu. In a small pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat and sauté the tofu with a pinch of salt and pepper until golden on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
In a mixing bowl, combine the black beans, cooked quinoa, and sautéed tofu. Sprinkle in the cumin, chili powder, and garlic powder. Toss gently to ensure even distribution of spices.
Cut the lime in half. Squeeze the juice over the bowl mixture and add a bit of lime zest for extra zing.
Dice the avocado and gently fold it into the bowl. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
Serve warm or at room temperature, enjoying the vibrant, spicy flavors and creamy accents of avocado.
