Steps

1. Rinse the quinoa under cold water and drain. 2. In a small saucepan, bring the vegetable broth to a boil. Add the quinoa, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for 15 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed. 3. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chickpeas, cumin, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the chickpeas are heated through and slightly crispy. 4. Once the quinoa is cooked, fluff it with a fork and season with salt and pepper. 5. Assemble the bowl by placing the quinoa at the base, topping it with the spiced chickpeas, cherry tomatoes, and avocado slices. 6. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve warm.
