Step 1
Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a pot over medium-high heat. Toss in the chopped onion and cook it until it’s soft and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Next, add the quinoa and stir it around for a couple of minutes until it smells nutty and is lightly toasted. Pour in the broth, bring everything to a boil, then lower the heat, cover the pot, and let it simmer gently until all the liquid is absorbed—this should take about 20 minutes.
Step 2
While the quinoa is cooking, mix the black beans, diced tomato, bell pepper, and avocado together in a bowl. For the dressing, blend the cilantro, lime juice, a couple of tablespoons of olive oil, Greek yogurt, chipotle pepper, some of the adobo sauce (about a tablespoon), honey, cumin, salt, and pepper until it’s nice and smooth.
Step 3
Once everything is ready, pour the dressing over the black bean mixture, add the cooked quinoa, and gently toss everything together so all the flavors come together.
