Cook the Quinoa: In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for about 15 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.

      Mix in Taco Flavors: Stir in the black beans, corn, and taco seasoning, mixing well. Cook for another 5 minutes until everything is heated through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

        Combine Components: In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa and the sautéed vegetable mixture. Toss gently to incorporate.

          Assemble the Bowl: Divide the quinoa and vegetable mixture among serving bowls. Top each bowl with diced avocado, halved cherry tomatoes, and a squeeze of lime juice.

            Garnish & Serve: Finish with fresh cilantro and your choice of optional toppings like shredded cheese or salsa. Serve immediately and enjoy your nutritious and delicious Taco-Style Quinoa Bowl!
