The most tasty Mexican Quinoa Salad healthful avocado, protein-rich black-beans, load of cilantro and a small-heat make this Mexican quinoa recipe over full of flavour.
For the black-beans I suggest to home-cooked. If you are in a hurry or did not plan ahead canned functions, of course. But in the event that you’re able to anyway fit it in your schedule, take the time to soak12 hours and then pressure cook for 20minutes.
This recipe is not full without avocado. It is so tough to select good ones. But as soon as you know you get better each moment.
My experience with a small Mexican avocados is significantly better than the large Brazilian avocados. I feel drawn to purchasing the huge ones. They seem so impressive. It is always a bummer though if they are rotten and black inside despite being firm.
This Mexican Quinoa filled with black beans, cilantro, fresh tomatoes, avocado, red onion, a chilli and plenty of lime-juice mixed into a bowl of cooked quinoa. It is wonderful!
