Ingredients
  

1 cup cooked quinoa

½ cup Greek yogurt (plain or flavored)

2 large eggs

¼ cup black beans (canned, rinsed and drained)

½ avocado, sliced

¼ cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro

1 tablespoon lime juice

Salt and pepper, to taste

Optional toppings: sliced jalapeños, feta cheese, salsa

Instructions
 

Cook the Eggs: Start by boiling water in a small saucepan. Once it reaches a rolling boil, reduce the heat to medium-low and gently add the eggs. Cook for about 6-7 minutes for hard-boiled eggs. Once done, transfer the eggs to an ice water bath for 5 minutes, then peel and slice them.

    Prepare the Base: In a large bowl, add the cooked quinoa and fluff it with a fork. Season with salt and pepper, and squeeze lime juice over it to add flavor.

      Layer the Bowl: Add the Greek yogurt on top of the quinoa as a creamy base. Then, gently combine the black beans and sliced avocado on one side of the bowl. Arrange the halved cherry tomatoes next to the avocado for a pop of color.

        Top with Eggs: Slice the hard-boiled eggs in half and place them on top of the bowl. Sprinkle the chopped cilantro over everything for a fresh touch.

          Optional Touches: If desired, add sliced jalapeños for heat, sprinkle some feta cheese for tanginess, or add some salsa for an extra kick.

            Serve Immediately: Mix all ingredients together if you prefer a combined flavor, or enjoy the layers as is for a beautiful presentation.
