To top it all off, we’ve added a little Mexican flare to a simple dish giving it a kick of fiesta with seasonings like cumin and chilli powder (we’re using our homemade taco seasoning) and toppings like WHOLLY® SIMPLY AVOCADO™, which gives the convenience of a fresh avocado without all the fuss, and/or salsa.

You need just a few main ingredients; quinoa, stock or broth (our homemade pressure cooker bone broth is amazing!), canned black beans, and frozen corn. I know it sounds super crazy, but we’re only cooking the quinoa for one minute. High pressure for 1 minute, then a full natural release allows the grain to pop open but stay intact, which is just what you want.

For seasonings, we suggest our homemade taco seasoning, but you can substitute your favorite store brand if you prefer. Next, we move into my favorite part of the dish, toppings. I like to fold in a little fresh parsley, some canned chicken breasts (for a heavier option), a good chunky salsa, and definitely SIMPLY AVOCADO™.

We opted for the WHOLLY® SIMPLY AVOCADO™ Garlic and Herb for these pressure cooker black bean and corn quinoa bowls and couldn’t be happier with the choice! It was so easy to grab while I was at Walmart. SIMPLY AVOCADO™ is a pure, wholesome avocado dip and spread with minimal flavor enhancing ingredients. The convenience substitute for fresh avocado.
