Spicy Green Grain Bowl
Ingredients
- 1 cup uncooked quinoa, (3 cups cooked)
- 2 jalapenos
- 2 cups leafy greens (spinach, kale, etc.)
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, lightly packed
- 1 avocado
- 1 lime
- 1/4 cup spicy mayo, (see note 1)
- soy sauce, to taste
- salt, to taste
Instructions
- Cook: Cook quinoa according to package instructions. The ratio is generally 1 part quinoa 2 parts water (1 cup quinoa, 2 cups water).
- Slice and Dice: Cut jalapenos into slices (so they look like little rings). Remove seeds to decrease spiciness. Keep seeds to increase spiciness. Roughly chop greens and fresh cilantro. Cute avocado into slices or cubes (whichever you prefer). Cut lime into wedges.
- Assemble: Season the quinoa with a couple hefty pinches of salt. Then assemble the grain bowls by putting ¼ of the quinoa in each bowl and topping with jalapeno, greens, cilantro, avocado and a couple fresh squeezes of lime juice. Finish it off with a drizzle of spicy mayo and a splash of soy sauce (to taste). Dig in!
