Ingredients
- 1 cup cooked quinoa (I used a red pepper quinoa/brown rice blend)
- 1/2 cup frozen or fresh corn, thawed
- 1/2 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 cup shredded chicken, cooked (If you’re lazy like me, just buy the premade BBQ Chicken)
- 2 Tbsp barbeque sauce of your choice
- 1/2 avocado, chopped
- 2 green onions, chopped
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Cilantro, as garnish
Directions
Cook quinoa according to package directions. In a large bowl, mix together quinoa, corn, black beans, chicken and barbeque sauce. Fold in avocado, green onions and season with salt and pepper. Top with a bit of cilantro and enjoy!
