Step 1
Rinse 1 cup quinoa and cook with 2 cups water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then simmer covered until water is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
Step 2
While quinoa cooks, steam 2 cups broccoli florets and 1 diced zucchini in a microwave-safe bowl with 2 tbsp water for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp.
Step 3
In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, 1 can drained black beans, 1 cup corn, 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes, and the steamed veggies. Toss gently.
Step 4
Serve the bowl topped with guacamole, a drizzle of red sauce (like salsa or hot sauce), and a sprinkle of cilantro if you have it. Add tortilla chips on the side for crunch.
Step 5
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
