Heat oil in a 12-inch pan with a lid over medium heat. Add in the onion, peppers, cumin, and coriander. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are translucent, 7-8 minutes.

Step 3

Add in the quinoa, black beans, corn kernels, tomatoes, and salt and pepper. Give it a large stir.

Step 5

Let it sit for 5 minutes or so and fluff with a fork. Right before serving stir in the fresh cilantro.

Step 6

Spoon the Mexican quinoa into bowls and garnish with fresh cilantro, avocado, and scallions. Serve with wedges of lime.
