Direction

1. In a medium-sized pot, cook 1 cup of quinoa according to package instructions. This usually involves combining 1 cup of quinoa with 2 cups of water, bringing it to a boil, then reducing the heat to low and letting it simmer for 15-20 minutes.

2. While the quinoa is cooking, heat a medium-sized skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tsp of olive oil, 1 tsp of garlic powder, and 1 tsp of chili powder to the skillet and stir to combine.

3. Add the drained and rinsed black beans to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.

4. In a small bowl, combine 1 cup of cherry tomatoes, halved, with 1 small diced red onion.

5. Once the quinoa is cooked, fluff it with a fork and set it aside.

6. In the same skillet used for the black beans, add 1 cup of corn kernels and cook for 3-4 minutes, until slightly browned.

7. To assemble the grain bowls, start by dividing the cooked quinoa between two bowls. Top each bowl with the black bean mixture, corn, and tomato and onion mixture.

8. Finally, add sliced avocado on top of each bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
