INGREDIENTS
0.5 cup cooked Quinoa (~93g)
1 cup Black Beans (~172g)
150g Extra Firm Tofu
1/4 medium Avocado (~50g)
1/2 medium Red Bell Pepper (~45g)
1/4 medium Red Onion (~25g)
1/2 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Lime Juice
1 tbsp chopped Cilantro
1 tsp Chili Powder
1 tsp Cumin
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse the quinoa thoroughly and cook according to package instructions until fluffy. Set aside to cool slightly.
Dice the extra firm tofu into cubes. In a non-stick skillet, heat 1/2 teaspoon of olive oil over medium heat and add the tofu. Sauté until lightly golden on all sides, about 5-7 minutes, then season with a pinch of salt, chili powder, and cumin.
Drain and rinse the black beans if using canned, then gently warm them in a small saucepan or in the microwave.
Dice the red bell pepper and thinly slice the red onion. Roughly chop the cilantro.
In a bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, black beans, sautéed tofu, red bell pepper, and red onion. Drizzle the lime juice over the mixture and toss gently.
Slice or dice the avocado and gently fold it into the bowl. Season with additional salt and pepper if desired.
Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve immediately, enjoying the fresh flavors and light spice of this wholesome bowl.
