If I weren't sparking, I'd be scooping this up with tortilla chips! This would also be great in a wrap. Right now, I'm eating it with a fork and it is fantastic!Makes 4 huge servings at this calorie level. 6 smaller servings would lighten the calories.

1 can of corn
.75 of a can of black refried beans
2 big plum or roma tomatoes
1 C onion
avocado
juice of 1 lemon
coriander
cumin
salt and pepper
olive oil
vinegar (I like rice wine vinegar)

Cook the quinoa, using twice as much water as grain.
Spread the refried beans on a plate or dish.
Mix about 2 TB of olive oil and vinegar and salt to taste with the quinoa. Then, spread the quinoa on top of the refried beans.
In a separate bowl, combine the rest of the olive oil with the corn, avocado, onions, tomatoes, spices, and juice the lemon on top. Mix!
Spread the corn mixture on top of the bean/quinoa layers and enjoy.

I just used the spices to taste. If you're not used to using them, I'd start with about 1 tsp of cumin and half that of coriander .... then taste it and work up from there!
