Ingredients
  

1 cup cooked quinoa (or any other high-protein grain)

2 large eggs (or egg substitutes for a vegan option)

1/2 cup black beans, rinsed and drained

1/2 avocado, sliced

1/4 cup Greek yogurt (or a dairy-free alternative)

1/4 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon ground cumin

Salt and pepper, to taste

Hot sauce, for serving (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Quinoa: If you haven't already, cook the quinoa according to package instructions. Once cooked, fluff with a fork and set aside.

    Cook the Eggs: In a skillet over medium heat, add a little olive oil. Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny (or to your desired level of doneness). Season with salt and pepper.

      Warm the Black Beans: In a small saucepan, combine the black beans with ground cumin and a pinch of salt. Heat over low until warmed through.

        Assemble the Bowls: In a large serving bowl or individual bowls, layer the quinoa as the base. Top with warmed black beans, sliced avocado, and cherry tomatoes.

          Add the Eggs and Toppings: Carefully place the cooked eggs on top of the bowls. Add a dollop of Greek yogurt and sprinkle with fresh cilantro for a burst of flavor.

            Final Touches: Drizzle with hot sauce if desired, and serve immediately.

              Enjoy this nourishing breakfast bowl that's packed with protein and flavor!
