Ingredients:

Serving

1 cup quinoa
2 cups water
1 tsp kosher salt
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
2 tbsp olive oil
1/8 tsp ground black pepper
1 (14 oz) can diced tomatoes with green chile peppers, drained
1 (14 oz) can garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
1 bunch cilantro, chopped
2 avocados, cubed
1/4 cup crumbled cotija cheese

Directions:

Bring quinoa, water, and salt to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the quinoa is tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Meanwhile, stir together the lime juice, olive oil, pepper, diced tomatoes, and garbanzo beans. When the quinoa is done, stir it into the tomato mixture, then cool in refrigerator until cold, about 2 hours
When the quinoa is cold, fluff with a spoon, and gently fold in the cilantro, avocados, and cheese.
