Try this amazing meal for all the protein and omega 3s you’d need.  Quinoa and avocado combine amazingly well in this no plate needed meal.

Prep: 30 minutes       Cook: 45 minutes      Servings: 6

Ingredients:

3 large ripe Hass avocados

olive oil

2 Roma tomatoes, chopped

½ red onion diced

1 clove garlic, minced

2 tablespoons lime juice

¼ cup cilantro, chopped

2 cups cooked Quinoa

Directions:

To cook a serving of Quinoa, chose your favorite brand and follow package instructions.  Don’t worry if you make to much as you can use the Quinoa as cereal toppers or in eggs for added texture.

In a bowl combine garlic, lime juice, cilantro, chopped onion, and diced tomatoes into the now cooked Quinoa.  Stir to make sure it is mixed well.

Cut the avocados in half and remove pits while making sure to keep the bowl like structure of the avocado.  Brush the halves of the avocados with olive oil and place on your George Foreman grill face down for about 3-4 minutes.

After avocados are done grilling, spoon Quinoa mixture into the avocado slices and serve!
