Chef’s Pro Tips

Rinse quinoa well to remove bitterness and improve texture.
To boost texture, sprinkle roasted pumpkin seeds on top.
For extra brightness, add a squeeze of lime right before serving.

Serving Suggestions

Pair with a green salad or warm tortilla chips for added crunch.

Storage Instructions

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days; the avocado may brown—add a fresh squeeze of lime to brighten.
