Main Ingredients

  • quinoa
  • eggs
  • black beans
  • avocado
  • cherry tomatoes
  • chia seeds
  • Greek yogurt
  • salt and pepper

Instructions
 

Steps

  • Begin by rinsing the quinoa under cold water to remove any bitterness. In a medium saucepan, combine the quinoa with two cups of water and a pinch of salt. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 15 minutes. Once the quinoa has absorbed all the water, remove it from the heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 additional minutes to fully fluff up.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat and spray it lightly with cooking oil. Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl and whisk them until the yolks and whites are fully combined, adding a pinch of salt and pepper. Pour the eggs into the hot skillet and cook them to your preferred doneness—either scrambled or fried—taking care to keep them soft and tender.
  • In a spacious serving bowl, begin the presentation with a bed of cooked quinoa. Organize the black beans, cooked eggs, diced avocado, and halved cherry tomatoes around the perimeter, creating a visually appealing circle of vibrant colors. Add a dollop of Greek yogurt in the center and sprinkle the chia seeds for an added boost of protein and texture.

Notes

Store any leftover breakfast bowls in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 2 days. To reheat, simply redistribute the contents in a skillet over medium heat until warmed. Avoid reheating avocado to maintain its creamy texture and flavor integrity.
