4. Combine grated lime zest, juice from 1/2 lime, crushed garlic and 1/2 tbsp olive oil. Toss through quinoa and season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Slice avocado, quarter tomatoes and remove corn kernels from cob. Rinse and shred lettuce, slice reserved spring onion tops. Wedge remaining lime.
6. Lightly mash beans with a fork and season to taste with salt and pepper. Divide quinoa between bowls. Top with beans and fresh toppings. Serve with lime wedges.
