Ingredients
  

1 cup quinoa, rinsed and drained

2 cups water or low-sodium vegetable broth

1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained

1 cup chopped spinach (fresh or frozen)

4 large eggs

1 avocado, diced

1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 tsp olive oil

1 tsp ground cumin

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish

Optional toppings: Hot sauce, feta cheese, or seeds (pumpkin or sunflower)

Instructions
 

In a medium saucepan, combine quinoa and water (or broth) and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until quinoa is fluffy and water is absorbed. Set aside.

    While the quinoa cooks, heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped spinach and sauté for 2-3 minutes until wilted. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in the black beans and cumin, cooking until heated through, about 3 more minutes.

      In a separate skillet, cook the eggs to your liking: poached, scrambled, or sunny-side up. Season with salt and pepper.

        To assemble, divide the cooked quinoa into bowls. Top with the sautéed spinach and black beans mixture, followed by the cooked eggs, diced avocado, and cherry tomatoes.

          Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley and add any optional toppings like hot sauce, feta cheese, or seeds.
