Step-by-Step Instructions
- Start by washing and chopping all your vegetables: finely dice the broccoli, red bell pepper, and garlic. Rinse quinoa under cold water in a fine-mesh strainer.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to low and cover, simmering for about 15 minutes until fluffy.
- While the quinoa is cooking, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chopped broccoli, red bell pepper, and minced garlic. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until tender.
- Add the cooked quinoa and drained black beans to the skillet. Stir everything together gently and cook for another 3-5 minutes until heated through.
- Sprinkle in cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well, adjusting the seasoning to your liking, and cook for another minute.
- Serve directly from the skillet or divide into bowls. Top each serving with slices of avocado, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice.
