INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup cooked Quinoa (approx. 92g)
3/4 cup Black Beans (approx. 130g)
4 oz Firm Tofu (approx. 113g)
1/4 medium Avocado (approx. 50g)
1/2 cup Cherry Tomatoes (approx. 75g)
1/2 cup Sweet Corn (approx. 82g)
1/2 medium Red Bell Pepper (approx. 75g)
1 Tbsp Lime Juice
1 tsp Chili Powder
1 tsp Cumin
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a small pot, combine the quinoa with water (use a 1:2 ratio) and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer until the water is absorbed and quinoa is fluffy, about 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, drain and rinse the black beans. Cut the firm tofu into small cubes and pat dry with a paper towel.
In a non-stick skillet, lightly sauté the tofu cubes over medium heat until they are golden on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt, chili powder, and cumin while cooking.
Dice the red bell pepper and halve the cherry tomatoes. If using frozen corn, ensure it is thawed, or lightly warm it to enhance its flavor.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, black beans, sautéed tofu, red bell pepper, cherry tomatoes, and corn.
Scoop quartered avocado onto the bowl and drizzle with lime juice. Gently toss to mix the flavors without mashing the avocado.
Season with additional salt and pepper as desired. Serve immediately and enjoy the vibrant, spicy flavors!
