Now, toss your black beans in with your peppers and onions and allow to heat through, add a little more oil if the beans seem to stick.
While the peppers, onions, and beans are cooking chop up the lettuce, tomatoes, avocado and limes.
Once the pan is heated through and the quinoa is done, you are ready to assemble.
I place ¼ - ½ cup of quinoa on the bottom of the bowl, followed by ¾ to 1 cup of the pepper, onions, and beans mixture.
Add your protein here if needed.
Top with a handful of lettuce, a few tablespoons of tomatoes and avocado, then I squeeze a few lime slices on top and add my favorite hot sauce and cilantro.
Cheese and tortilla chips are optional. Serve Warm.
