Ingredients
  

1 cup quinoa, rinsed and drained

2 cups vegetable broth

1 cup hatch green chiles, roasted and diced (fresh or canned)

1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed

1 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)

1 red bell pepper, diced

1 small red onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon paprika

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 avocado, sliced

Fresh cilantro, for garnish

Lime wedges, for serving

Optional: Crumbled feta or cotija cheese, hot sauce for extra kick

Instructions
 

Cook the Quinoa: In a medium saucepan, bring the vegetable broth to a boil. Add the rinsed quinoa, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the quinoa is fluffy and the liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.

    Sauté the Vegetables: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced red onion and red bell pepper. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute, until fragrant.

      Season and Combine: Stir in the roasted hatch green chiles, black beans, corn, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until everything is heated through.

        Assemble the Bowls: Divide the cooked quinoa into bowls. Top each bowl with the hatch chili mixture. Add sliced avocado on top.

          Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle fresh cilantro over the bowls, and add lime wedges on the side. Drizzle with hot sauce and sprinkle cheese, if desired.
