Ingredients
Sweet potatoes
Quinoa, cooked per package instructions
Canned black beans, drained/rinsed
Avocado, sliced
Salsa (any kind)
Black pepper, cumin & red pepper or chili powder, to taste
Hot sauce (optional)
Preparation
Cook the quinoa per package instructions. I used 1/2 cup dry quinoa. Cook the sweet potatoes in the microwave. Simply poke a few holes in it with a fork and pop it in the microwave on a damp paper towel. Cook about 4 to 5 minutes for one potato, adding 2 to 3 minutes per extra potato. (I used two small potatoes.) Once cooked, slice into cubes. Keep the skin or not - up to you. Just make sure it was washed well if you keep the skin! In a large bowl, mix cooked quinoa and cubed sweet potatoes. Add avocado, sliced (I used 1 whole avocado). Add the rinsed/drained black beans (I used one 14 oz can). Top the mixture with salsa (as much as you like!), plus a few shakes of cumin, chili powder or red pepper, and black pepper. Top with hot sauce if desired. Enjoy!
