Savory Mexican Quinoa Bowl with Zesty Green Chile Sauce

Step 1

Blend cashews, spicy green chiles, creamy hemp milk, fresh jalapeno, and a pinch of salt until silky smooth in a blender.

Step 2

Transfer the luscious cashew mixture to a quaint bowl, gently folding in a generous cup of chopped cilantro for added freshness.

Step 3

In a saucepan, bring a pot of water and quinoa to a lively boil. Lower the heat to a gentle simmer, cover, and let it bubble away until the quinoa becomes tender, which usually takes around 15 to 20 minutes.

Step 4

Take 4 serving bowls and lay a bed of crisp romaine lettuce in each. Pile on the fluffy quinoa, hearty black beans, vibrant red bell pepper, and savory onion. Drizzle the zesty cilantro sauce generously over the top.

Step 5

To finish, sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of cilantro and a handful of chopped avocados for a creamy touch as a final flourish.
