SERVINGS 4
Ingredients
BLACK BEAN MIXTURE INGREDIENTS:
- 2 tsp. olive oil
- 1 large onion diced small
- 2 tsp. garlic
- 1 tsp. cumin
- 1 tsp. chili powder
- 2 medium zucchini
- 12 oz black beans 15 oz. black beans (Or use 2-3 cups cooked black beans)
- 4 oz green chiles 4 oz. diced green Anaheim chiles
- 8 oz corn
- 1 medium bell pepper
- 1 cups tomatoes
AVOCADO SALSA INGREDIENTS:
- 1 large avocado diced
- 1 Tbsp lime juice I used my fresh-frozen lime juice
- 1 cup tomatoes
- 1/2 bunch cilantro chopped fine (or more if you’re a big cilantro fan)
- 1/2 jalapeño
- 1 cups quinoa cooked quinoa
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400F/200C. Spray a large baking sheet with non-stick spray.
- Prep Quinoa based on package directions
- Drain the cans of black beans into a colander placed in the sink and rinse well until no more foam appears. Let beans drain well.
- Heat the 2 teaspoons of olive oil in a medium-sized non-stick frying pan and saute onion over medium-high heat until it’s starting to lightly brown. Add the minced garlic, 1 teaspoon ground cumin and 1 teaspoon ground chili powder and saute 1-2 minutes more.
- Add the drained black beans, can of diced green chiles (affiliate link), peppers, corn and Green Tabasco Sauce to taste. Turn heat to low and let the mixture simmer while the spaghetti squash roasts.
- Peel the avocado and dice into pieces about 1/2 inch across. Put avocado pieces into a medium-sized bowl and toss with 1 tablespoon lime juice (I used my fresh-frozen lime juice).
- Dice tomatoes into small pieces and finely chop cilantro and add to the bowl with the avocado, then stir in the olive oil and 1 or 2 tablespoons more lime juice. Season to taste with Vege-Sal or a little salt.
- Check black bean mixture to make sure the mixture is firm in texture no too watery. (If not, cook a few minutes over higher heat as needed.)
- To assemble the bowls, place 1/4 cup cooked quinoa into the bottom of a serving bowl. Top with 1/4 the black bean mixture and a generous amount of salsa.
- Serve the bowls right away, with Green Tabasco Sauce or your favorite hot sauce to add at the table.
