Method
Serves 4 · about 40 minutes from start to finish.
Rinse the quinoa, then simmer it in plenty of water for 12-15 minutes until tender. Drain well, cover and leave it to steam dry for a few minutes.
Tip the chopped tomatoes into a saucepan with the smoked paprika and a pinch of salt. Simmer for 8 minutes until slightly thickened.
Stir the black beans into the tomatoes and warm them through for 3-4 minutes.
Meanwhile, toss the red pepper and sweetcorn together with half the lime juice and a little seasoning.
Fluff the quinoa into four bowls, then spoon over the smoky black beans.
Top with the sweetcorn mixture, sliced avocado and coriander, then finish with the remaining lime juice before serving.

Cook's tip
For extra contrast, keep the avocado in chunky slices rather than mashing it - the creamy pieces balance the punchier beans nicely.
