Rinse the quinoa under cold water using a fine-mesh strainer to remove any bitterness.
In a small saucepan, combine quinoa with 0.5 cup water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 12-15 minutes until the water is fully absorbed and quinoa is fluffy.
While the quinoa cooks, heat 1 tablespoon of water in a small non-stick skillet over medium heat and sauté the diced red onion for 3 minutes until softened.
Stir the rinsed black beans, cumin, chili powder, sea salt, and black pepper into the skillet, cooking for 5 minutes until the beans are heated through.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, lime juice, and nutritional yeast until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Assemble the bowl by placing the cooked quinoa at the base, followed by the seasoned black bean mixture.
Top the bowl with the yogurt sauce, sliced avocado, and fresh chopped cilantro before serving.
