• 2 scallions chopped

• cilantro for garnishInstructions

Ingredients

1. In a large bowl, toss together the quinoa, corn, black beans, chicken and avocado. Season with salt and pepper

2. Transfer mixture onto a bowl and top with shredded cheese, BBQ sauce, scallions and cilantro.

3. Serve

4. ** This recipe calls for already cooked chicken so plan ahead! If I have time, I prefer to cook my chicken in the crockpot, using 6 chicken thighs, 1 white onion sliced and 1/2 cup of BBQ sauce. I cook on low for about 6-7 hours and then shred and refrigerate for later.
