A healthy burrito bowl recipe with quinoa, black beans and avocado tossed in a Sonoran style Mexican chipotle lime vinaigrette dressing. The Greek yogurt adds a little creaminess to the vinaigrette, so I recommend arranging it all pretty in bowl, then smooshing and swirling the whole thing together into a big mess before you eat it.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup dry quinoa
- 1/4 cup green salsa
- 3/4 cup vegetable or chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon fresh or dried chopped cilantro
- 1/2 cup drained and rinsed black beans
- 1/2 of an avocado sliced
- 2 tablespoons chunky pico de gallo salsa
- 2 tablespoons nonfat Greek yogurt
*For chipotle lime vinaigrette*
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Juice of one lime
- 1 teaspoon minced chipotle in adobo sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon grainy mustard
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Bring broth and salsa to a boil in a medium pot. Add quinoa, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 12 minutes or according to package directions.
- Remove from heat, stir in cilantro, cover and steam for 5 minutes.
- Whisk together the vinaigrette ingredients in a small bowl. Spoon the quinoa into the bottom of your serving bowl. Arrange the beans, avocado slices, chunky salsa and nonfat yogurt on top. Pour vinaigrette over everything and enjoy!
