Ingredients
  

2 cups quinoa, rinsed

4 cups vegetable broth

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

1 bell pepper (any color), diced

1 medium zucchini, diced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 avocado, diced (for serving)

1 teaspoon cumin

1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Lime wedges (for serving)

Instructions
 

In a medium pot, combine the rinsed quinoa and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the broth is absorbed and quinoa is fluffy.

    While the quinoa is cooking, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced bell pepper and zucchini, cooking for about 5-7 minutes until they begin to soften.

      Stir in the halved cherry tomatoes, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper, cooking for another 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat.

        In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, black beans, and the sautéed vegetable mixture. Toss gently to mix all ingredients evenly.

          Divide the mixture into meal prep containers for easy storage. Let cool before sealing.

            When ready to serve, top each portion with diced avocado, a sprinkle of fresh cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice over the top for added flavor.
