Quinoa Burrito Bowl
Presenting the low-calorie Quinoa Burrito Bowl recipe. Let’s get started.
For this wholesome dish, you’ll need:
- One cup quinoa
- One and three-quarters cups water
- A quarter teaspoon salt
- One can (15 ounces) black beans, drained and rinsed
- One cup corn kernels, fresh or frozen
- One cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- Half a red onion, finely chopped

- A quarter cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- Juice of one lime
- Half a teaspoon ground cumin

Start by rinsing the quinoa thoroughly under cold water.
In a pot, combine quinoa, water, and a quarter teaspoon of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the quinoa is cooked and the water is absorbed.
While the quinoa cooks, prepare the black beans, corn, cherry tomatoes, red onion, bell pepper, and cilantro.
In a bowl, whisk together lime juice, ground cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to make a zesty dressing.
Once the quinoa is ready, fluff it with a fork and let it cool slightly.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, black beans, corn, cherry tomatoes, red onion, bell pepper, and cilantro.
Pour the zesty dressing over the mixture and toss everything together until well combined.
