Quinoa Bowls are one of the most popular healthy meals that you can prepare at home. These bowls are packed with nutrients, and they are easy to customize based on your preferences. The best part about quinoa bowls is that they can be served as a side dish or a complete meal, and you can easily prepare them in advance for a quick and healthy lunch or dinner.
Rinse the quinoa in a fine-mesh strainer and place it in a large saucepan with 2 cups of water.
Bring the water to a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let the quinoa cook for 15-20 minutes, or until all the water has been absorbed.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it sit for 5 minutes.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, black beans, avocado, red bell pepper, red onion, lime juice, and cilantro.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the quinoa mixture to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through.
Divide the quinoa mixture into four bowls and top with your favorite toppings, if desired.
