Description
Crunchy tortilla chips and spicy chillies create a salad that packs a real punch in flavour and texture, and which everyone can enjoy.
Method
Step 1 of 4
Rinse the quinoa under running water, drain, and place in a lidded saucepan. Cover with 250ml of water and bring to the boil.
Step 2 of 4
Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for 15-20 minutes or until almost all the liquid has been absorbed and the quinoa is fluffy. Remove from the heat, drain any remaining water, and set aside to cool.
Step 3 of 4
Place the quinoa, kidney beans, sweetcorn, onions, peppers, and jalapeños in a large bowl. Mix until well combined. Then add the avocado and mix lightly to combine.
Step 4 of 4
Roughly shred the lettuce and add to the bowl. Sprinkle the tortillas over the mixture and toss lightly. Transfer the salad to a serving platter or plate. Serve immediately with tortilla chips and lemons or limes to squeeze over.
