Everyday is a new adventure for food at the Bravwel Casa. Well…mostly we just order pizza but once in a while when we’re feeling brave we decide to cook something. We had this great dish at a local restaurant in West Hollywood and figured it’s perfect for when you’re not feeling like a salad for lunch. For an easy quinoa bowl follow the recipe below

Ingredients –

  • One handful of Arugula 
  • 1-2 boneless chicken breasts
  • 1-2 roma tomatoes,  quartered 
  • 1 avocado, chopped (about 2 cups)
  • One handful of cilantro
  • A handful of your choice of cheese
  • 1 cup of Quinoa 
  • Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
  • Sriracha for serving
