Ingredients
  

  • 1 can black beans (drained and rinsed)
  • 4 garlic cloves finely chopped
  • 1 cup white quinoa
  • 4 tbsps Zacusca Chilli or Zacusca Eggplant
  • 1 packet shredded cooked chicken (Coles sells them in the fridge isle)
  • 1 spray canola oil
  • 1/2 sachet taco seasoning
  • 1 handful diced fresh parsley
  • 4 corn on the cob
  • 1 large ripe avocado
  • 2 spring onions diced
  • the juice from 1/2 lemon

Instructions
 

  • In a hot pan, spray a little canola oil and add the chicken, taco seasoning and garlic cloves.
  • Stir and fry off for about a minute or until warmed through.
  • In the meantime, in a microwave safe container cook 1 cup of quinoa following the instructions on the packet.
  • Microwave the corn cobs until fork tender and deep yellow in colour. You can also use corn kernels if you wish.
  • Start plating by adding to a bowl 1/2 cup of chicken, 1/2 cup of cooked quinoa, 1/4 of the black beans, 1/2 cup of shredded chinese cabbage, 1/4 of avocado cubed and top it with a good handful of chopped parsley and spring onion. I used some from my veggie garden. Top it all off with a good dollop of your favourite Zacusca!
  • Stir through until well combined and dig in! Ole! A great quick and easy dinner that all your family members will surely enjoy!

Notes

HINT ❗ You can swap the Zacusca Chilli for Zacusca Eggplant like I did for my children.
