Ingredients

1 cup quinoa
2 x (15 oz) cans black beans
1/2 cup corn kernels
1/2 cup diced red bell pepper
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
1/4 cup diced red onion
1 cup diced cucumber
1 cup diced avocado
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup sour cream
30 ml chipotle seasoning
1 jalapeno, sliced
2 limes, cut into wedges
3 oz tortilla chips

Method

1
Rinse the quinoa in a fine mesh strainer under cold water and drain.
2
In a medium saucepan, combine quinoa with 2 cups of water and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer until quinoa is cooked and water is absorbed, about 15 minutes.
3
While the quinoa is cooking, drain and rinse the black beans and transfer them to a bowl. Mix in the chipotle seasoning.
4
In a separate bowl, combine the corn, red bell pepper, cilantro, red onion, and cucumber.
5
Once the quinoa is done, fluff it with a fork and let it cool for a few minutes.
6
Prepare the bowls by dividing the quinoa among them, then top with the seasoned black beans, vegetable mixture, diced avocado, and shredded cheese.
7
Serve each bowl with a dollop of sour cream, jalapeno slices, lime wedges, and tortilla chips on the side.
