Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup quinoa rinsed and drained
  • 2 cups vegetable broth for cooking quinoa
  • 1 can black beans drained and rinsed

Instructions
 

  • In a medium saucepan, combine quinoa and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until quinoa is fluffy.
  • While quinoa is cooking, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add diced bell pepper and sauté for about 5 minutes until slightly softened.
  • Add black beans, corn, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Stir well and cook for an additional 5 minutes until heated through.
  • Once quinoa is cooked, fluff it with a fork and add it to the skillet with the vegetable mixture. Stir until well combined.
  • Remove from heat and squeeze fresh lime juice over the mixture. Mix well to incorporate the lime flavor.
  • Divide the quinoa and vegetable mixture into meal prep containers. Top each serving with sliced avocado.
