Rinse quinoa under cold water. In a medium saucepan, combine quinoa and water. Bring to a boil, then lower heat and simmer covered for 15 minutes.
Chop bell pepper, red onion, and cilantro. Place in a large mixing bowl.
Whisk together lime juice, olive oil, cumin, chili powder, and salt in a small bowl.
Once quinoa has cooled slightly, add it to the mixing bowl with chopped vegetables and black beans. Pour dressing over and toss to combine.
Chill salad in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving.

This salad can be made ahead of time and stored for up to 4 days in an airtight container. For added flavor, allow it to chill before serving.
