INGREDIENTS
1.25 cups canned black beans (low sodium)
0.5 cup cooked quinoa
3 ounces extra-firm tofu
0.25 whole fresh avocado
0.5 cup chopped red bell pepper
1 cup baby spinach
0.25 whole fresh lime (juiced)
3 sprigs fresh cilantro (chopped)
PREPARATION
Rinse the canned black beans under cold water and drain well. In a small pan, warm them slightly with a pinch of salt and pepper if desired.
Cook the quinoa according to package instructions. Once cooked, fluff with a fork and set aside.
Press the extra-firm tofu to remove excess moisture, then cut into cubes. Sauté the tofu in a non-stick pan over medium heat with a dash of olive oil until golden on all sides.
In a large bowl, combine the warmed black beans, cooked quinoa, and sautéed tofu.
Add the baby spinach and chopped red bell pepper to the bowl. Gently toss to mix all ingredients evenly.
Dice the fresh avocado and add to the bowl.
Squeeze the juice of a quarter lime over the mixture and sprinkle chopped cilantro on top. Toss lightly to combine all flavors.
Serve immediately and enjoy your hearty, nutritious bowl.
