Ingredients

  • 1 cups quinoa cooked with 2 cups of water
  • 200-300 grams salsa
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 5 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 30 grams taco seasoning
  • 1 cup corn fire roasted or regular
  • 15 oz canned black beans rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup shredded cheese or as much or as little as you wish
  • optional: pico de gallo and guac

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Start off by cooking your quinoa, 1 cup quinoa to 2 cups water. Right before it was finished, add in the salsa and let it finish cooking.
  2. While the rice is cooking, in a skillet on medium high heat, add in olive oil and garlic. Cook the garlic for 1-2 minutes, before adding in the lean ground beef.
  3. Stir your beef as you cook it, breaking it up into small pieces. Once it has browned and is cooked, add in your taco seasoning with 1/3 cup of water. Bring it up to a boil before lowering the heat, leaving it to simmer until the liquid has thickened and stirring occasionally.
  4. Once done, assemble your bowls by adding in the quinoa, beef, corn, beans, and cheese with pico de gallo and guac if you wish. If you choose to meal prep this for the week and are not eating it right away and would like to add pico de gallo and guac, package it separately to avoid making the taco bowl soggy.

Notes

  • To make a quick pico de gallo, chop up some roma tomatoes and red onions and mix in some salt and lime juice.
