I get super bored with broccoli and cauliflower - sometimes you just have to have a different side dish.

These were to die for... I love quinoa, red pepper, and avocado, so this is pretty much my dream side. So good!

 

Here's what you'll need: 

1/4 c. quinoa, Soaked, Rinsed and Drained

1/4 c. Brown Rice (you can also just use 1/2 c. quinoa)

2-3 whole Avocados, slices long ways down the middle and pit removed

1/2 Red Bell Pepper, chopped

1 tsp. Garlic Powder,

1 tsp. Onion Powder

1 tsp. Red Pepper Flakes

1 tbsp. Basil, Chopped

 

Add water (enough for both brown rice and quinoa) to a pot and boil, adding brown rice and cooking to package directions.

Add quinoa to the pot when the timer is at whatever your quinoa is recommended to cook -

I added mine when there was about 20 minutes left.

Once quinoa/rice mixture is done cooking, Add the seasonings, red pepper and basil.

Sir to combine, and then scoop mixture into halved avocados. 

 

 

Enjoy!
