Veg With an Edge.

I enjoy things that are easy. I will admit that I have a mean habit of laziness that I am trying really hard to kick.

Here's a recipe that I made tonight. Cheap, easy, and scrumptious....let us not forget the most important part, nutritious!

BBQ Black Bean Quinoa

1 can of black beans 
1 bag of frozen quinoa brown rice blend (this is awesome)
Couple tablespoons of your favorite BBQ sauce (just use what's in the fridge)
1/2 ripe avocado

The deets:
-strain and rinse the black beans
-place beans in a sauté pan on low heat.
-add in your BBQ sauce and heat through.
-meanwhile, toss the frozen quinoa and nuke for however long the package indicates.
-combine the beans and the quinoa in a serving bowl and garnish with the avocado.

Feel free to have fun with your garnishes. I'm not a fan of a whole lotta spice when it comes to food, but I can see this also with some finely chopped jalapeño, maybe some cilantro...

Try it. I would love to know what you think!
