Напрямки

Prepare Quinoa Mixture:Heat 1 Tbsp. olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in adobo sauce, chili powder, and cumin; cook 1 minute. Add quinoa, vegetable broth, and salt; increase heat and bring mixture to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low, and cook until quinoa is tender and liquid has been absorbed, about 15 minutes.Stir in black beans and let mixture sit (uncovered) to slightly cool while you prepare the rest of salad.

Prepare Baja Dressing:In a blender or Nutribullet, combine Greek yogurt, oil, cilantro, lime juice, apple cider vinegar, honey, cumin, salt, and pepper; blend on high speed until smooth and creamy.

Assemble Salad:Add lettuce to a large bowl or serving platter and season with a pinch of salt. Top with quinoa and black bean mixture, pico de gallo, and sliced avocado. Drizzle dressing overtop and gently toss to combine. Garnish with tortilla chips, if desired. Serve immediately.
