Method
- In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for about 15 minutes or until the quinoa is fluffy and all the liquid is absorbed.
- While the quinoa cooks, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced red onion and bell pepper, sautéing for about 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
- Add the corn, black beans, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Stir to combine and heat through for another 3-4 minutes.
- Once the quinoa is cooked, fluff it with a fork and divide it among serving bowls.
- Top each bowl of quinoa with the sautéed vegetable and bean mixture, sliced avocado, and halved cherry tomatoes.
- Drizzle with fresh lime juice and garnish with chopped cilantro before serving.
Notes
Storage & Reheating:
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply microwave the burrito bowl until heated through, or enjoy it cold for a refreshing meal. Variations:
- Swap quinoa for brown rice or cauliflower rice for a different grain base.
- Add grilled chicken or beef for a non-vegan protein option.
- Incorporate additional toppings like salsa, dairy-free cheese, or jalapeños for an extra kick.
- Use shredded lettuce instead of quinoa for a lighter, salad-style bowl.
