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.
