Rinse the quinoa under cold water using a fine-mesh strainer. In a small saucepan, combine the quinoa with most of the water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until the water is absorbed and the quinoa is fluffy.
While the quinoa cooks, heat the remaining water in a small non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the red onion and sauté for 3 minutes until softened.
Stir the black beans, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper into the skillet. Cook for 5 minutes until the beans are heated through and fragrant.
Fluff the cooked quinoa and place it in a bowl. Top with the seasoned black beans. Sprinkle with nutritional yeast and drizzle with lime juice. Garnish with sliced avocado and fresh cilantro.
