Ingredients

• 1/4 cup uncooked quinoa
• 1/2 cup vegetable broth
• 1/4 cup cooked black beans
• 1/4 cup cooked or canned chickpeas
• 1/4 cup diced tomatoes
• 1/4 cup diced bell peppers
• 1/4 cup diced onions
• 1/4 cup diced mushrooms
• 1/4 cup diced zucchini
• 1/4 cup diced kale or spinach
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Optional garnishes: chopped fresh herbs, avocado, shredded cheese, crumbled tofu, or your favorite hot sauce

Preparation

Begin by rinsing the quinoa in a fine-mesh strainer. Bring the vegetable broth to a boil in a medium saucepan. Once boiling, add the rinsed quinoa and reduce to a simmer. Cook, uncovered, for 15-20 minutes until the quinoa is tender and the liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.

Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions, mushrooms, bell peppers, and zucchini. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened. Add the garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, and salt and pepper. Stir to combine and cook for another 1-2 minutes.

Add the diced tomatoes, cooked beans, and cooked quinoa to the pan. Stir to combine and cook for another 5 minutes. Finally, add the kale or spinach and cook for 2-3 minutes until the greens are wilted. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.

Divide the vegetarian protein packed breakfast bowl into individual bowls, garnish with your favorite toppings, and enjoy!
