Quinoa and black beans covered in lime and avocado… mouth watering simplicity.
I’ve used different recipes to cook quinoa but I always come back to THIS ONE. It takes less than 30 minutes and the quinoa turns out fluffy every time! Another side note about this healthy plant-based recipe, feel free to add more lime juice. In fact, go crazy with it, it’ll be so good!
Enjoy!
