I first developed this recipe when I was looking for a quick and easy way to get more protein and fiber into my diet. I was also trying to find a way to use up some leftover vegetables. I started with a base of quinoa and black beans, and then added bell peppers, red onion, avocado, and hemp seeds. I finished it off with a drizzle of Cholula hot sauce. I was so happy with the results! The bowl was packed with flavor and nutrients, and it was really easy to make. I've been making it ever since, and it's become one of my go-to meals.
