For The Tacos
To make the taco meat: Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add in onion, ground cumin, and ground coriander. Sautee, stirring frequently until onions are softened, 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the tomato paste and garlic. Sautee for a minute.
Add in quinoa, black beans, salt, and pepper. Pour in the cooking liquid of your choice.
Bring it to a boil, turn down the heat to low, and let it cook for 15 minutes or until most of the liquid is absorbed.
Let it rest for 5-10 minutes with the lid on. Fluff it with a fork and drizzle it with the lime juice. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro, if using.
To Assemble: Lightly warm corn tortillas in a skillet or in the oven. Spread each tortilla lightly with the avocado dressing, top it off with a few spoons of the quinoa black bean mixture.
Top it off with a dollop of the avocado dressing and a tablespoon of pickled onions. Garnish with cilantro and serve with wedges of limes on the side.
