Cut 2 avacados into chunks. Once you have everything above ready, all you have to do is assemble. If you don't have a mold, you can just layer it together on a plate, it will still be amazing:) The layers are, quinoa on the bottom, sweet potatoes, avacados, dressing drizzled over it, and tortilla strips. Let me know what you think:)
