Quinoa and Black Beans

Made another quinoa inspired recipe last night that was pretty yummy. And SUPER quick and easy. Wish I would have had fresh beans I had soaked overnight and had a fresh tomato... but, still. It was good like this! :)

Quinoa and Black Beans

1 c quinoa
1 can black beans (drained and rinsed)
1 can diced tomatoes with onion
5 chopped green onions
1 avocado, cubed
Juice of one lime

Place quinoa and 2 cups of water in a sauce pan and bring to a boil.
Reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook until all of the water is absorbed, approximately 10-15 minutes. (Quinoa is done when all the grains have turned from white to transparent, and the spiral-like germ has separated.)
Add green onions, black beans, lime juice and tomatoes.
Serve with avocado on top.
Yum!
