Quinoa Black Bean Bowl

This dish reminds me of the "burrito bowls" some places serve, like Chipotle, only I am using quinoa in place of rice.  Quinoa is a complete protein and takes on whatever flavor you add to it.

Since we make many batches in bulk and freeze them, this recipe only takes minutes to put together!



2-3 cups cooked quinoa
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 ear corn, cut from cob or 1/2 c. frozen kernels, defrosted
1 tomato, diced
1/2 c. red onion, diced
1 TBSP prepared salsa

Spices:
Chili Powder
Garlic
Cumin
Chopped Cilantro *optional

Make sure quinoa and beans are hot, then all remaining ingredients, stir to combine and serve
Top with sour cream *optional (we used Tofutti vegan sour cream)

We served with a side of guacamole and chips
