Ingredients
- For the Bowl:
- 1 cup uncooked Quinoa
- 1/2 cup uncooked Barley
- Optional: 1/2 cup uncooked White or Brown Rice
- 1 (15-ounce) can Black Beans, rinsed and drained
- 2 colorful Bell Peppers (such as red, yellow, or orange), sliced
- 1 medium Onion, sliced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon Onion Powder
- Salt and Black Pepper to taste
- 2 medium Tomatoes, chopped
- Optional: Fresh Cilantro, chopped, for garnish
- For the Oil-Free Avocado-Lime Dressing:
- 2 ripe Avocados
- 1/4 cup fresh Lime Juice (from about 2 limes)
- 1/4 cup Water, plus more as needed for consistency
- 1/2 teaspoon Cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon Chili powder
- Salt and Black Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cook the grains: Combine quinoa, barley, and optional rice (if using) in your Instant Pot or on the stovetop according to package directions. Once cooked, fluff with a fork.
- Prepare the Fajita Veggies: While the grains are cooking, heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced bell peppers, onion, and minced garlic. Add a splash of water or vegetable broth to prevent sticking. Sauté, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender-crisp, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, salt, and pepper and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Roast the Tomatoes: Preheat your oven (or air fryer, if you prefer) to 400°F (200°C). Toss the chopped tomatoes with a pinch of garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for 15-20 minutes, or until slightly softened and beginning to caramelize.
- Make the Dressing: In a blender, combine the ripe avocados, lime juice, water, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Blend until completely smooth and creamy. Add more water, a tablespoon at a time, if needed to reach your desired drizzling consistency. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
- Assemble the Bowls: Divide the cooked grains among four bowls. Top each bowl with a generous portion of the black beans, sautéed fajita veggies, and roasted tomatoes.
- Drizzle each bowl generously with the oil-free avocado-lime dressing. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired
