Ingredients
  

1 cup quinoa, rinsed

1 ½ cups vegetable broth

1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed

1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)

1 red bell pepper, diced

½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 avocado, sliced

¼ cup red onion, thinly sliced

½ cup fresh cilantro, chopped

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 lime, juiced

1 teaspoon cumin

½ teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

In a medium saucepan, combine quinoa and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until quinoa is fluffy and broth is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.

    In a large mixing bowl, combine black beans, corn, red bell pepper, cherry tomatoes, and red onion.

      In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until well combined.

        Pour the dressing over the bean and vegetable mixture and toss gently until everything is coated evenly.

          Assemble your Baja Bowl: Start with a base of quinoa in each serving bowl. Top with the black bean and corn mixture, sliced avocado, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.

            For added flavor, drizzle with extra lime juice and garnish with additional cilantro if desired.
