Quinoa, guacamole , and refried beans...OH MY!

Last nights dinner was a hit!  I thought I would share it with all of you!


1 cup Quinoa (gluten free and a wonderful food packed with protein!)
1 1/2 tbps. unrefined coconut oil (or oil of choice)
1 med. Onion
1 med. red bell pepper
2 stalks of celery
1 can diced tomatoes
1 can Amy's Refried beans
1 Avocado
half of lemon, squeezed
1/4 tsp garlic salt
1/4 tsp onion powder



* Cook Quinoa (I used my rice cooker 1 cup Quinoa with 2 cups H2O). While Quinoa is cooking, heat the coconut oil in pan on medium heat.  Slice onions and put in pan when pan is hot.  While occasionally stirring onions dice red bell pepper and celery.  Once onions are see through add the bell pepper and celery to pan and mix.  Continue to cook.  Prepare your guacamole, cut avocado in half and scoop out inside into a bowl.  Squish avocado with fork until there are no chunks.  Add the lemon, garlic salt, and onion powder and set aside.  Once the Quinoa is done scoop in desired amount in a bowl and add some refried beans (again as much as you feel), mix together.  Add a scoop full of diced tomatoes and then add your vegetable mix on top.  Scoop some guacamole on top and grab a spoon!

Serves about 4 and takes about 20-30 minutes!
This dish is of course gluten free and vegan!
