Steps:
- Whisk together lime juice, cumin, chili powder, garlic, oil, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- Bring the water to a boil in a small saucepan. Add quinoa; return to a boil. Stir once, cover, and reduce heat to a simmer. Cook until quinoa is tender but still chewy and has absorbed all liquid, about 15 minutes. Turn off heat. Fluff quinoa with a fork. Place corn kernels on top of quinoa, cover pan, and let stand 5 minutes. Stir corn into quinoa, and transfer to a large bowl to cool.
- Add red pepper, scallions, jalapeño, and cilantro to quinoa mixture, along with 1/2 cup dressing (or to taste); toss until combined. Season with salt, if desired.
- Cut avocado in half lengthwise; remove pit. Peel avocado and thinly slice.
- Line a large serving platter with lettuce leaves. Mound quinoa salad in center. Arrange avocado and lime on the side. Sprinkle pumpkin seeds over salad. Serve immediately.
