Method
- In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa and water or broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork.
- While the quinoa cooks, heat a large cast-iron skillet over high heat. Add the corn kernels in a single layer (you may need to do this in batches) and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until charred and blistered. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, minced chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, lime juice, garlic, chili powder, and smoked paprika until smooth. Season with salt to taste.
- Divide the cooked quinoa among four bowls. Top with the charred corn, black beans, diced red onion, and chopped cilantro. Drizzle generously with the chipotle crema.
- Finish each bowl with crumbled cotija cheese and fresh avocado slices. Serve immediately with extra lime wedges on the side.
Notes
Pro Tip: For an even smokier flavor, use fire-roasted canned corn if you're short on time.
