Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1 cup quinoa, rinsed
  • 1 can (13.5 oz) light coconut milk
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup diced ripe mango
  • 1/4 cup shredded coconut
  • 2 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp chopped cilantro

Method
 

Instructions
  1. In a medium saucepan, combine quinoa, coconut milk, and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until liquid is absorbed. Tip: Fluff quinoa with a fork after cooking for the best texture.
  2. While quinoa cooks, toss black beans, mango, shredded coconut, lime juice, honey (if using), and salt in a mixing bowl. Tip: For extra flavor, let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes to marinate.
  3. Divide cooked quinoa between two bowls. Top with the mango-black bean mixture and garnish with cilantro if desired. Tip: Add a sprinkle of chili flakes for a spicy kick.
