Ingredients
- 1 lb lean ground beef (90/10)
- 2 cups cooked quinoa or brown rice
- 1 bell pepper, diced
- 1 zucchini, diced
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 onion, diced
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp chili powder
- Fresh parsley or cilantro, for garnish
- Greek yogurt or feta cheese, for topping
- Avocado, for topping
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef, breaking it apart as it cooks. Season it with salt, pepper, and your preferred spices.
- Once cooked through, add the diced onion and garlic, sautéing until they become fragrant and translucent.
- Stir in your choice of veggies, letting them soften but still retain some crunch. This usually takes about 5-7 minutes.
- Meanwhile, prepare the quinoa or brown rice according to package instructions.
- When everything has cooked, build your power bowls: Start with a scoop of quinoa or rice, layer the beef and veggie mixture on top, and finish with fresh herbs and a drizzle of your favorite dressing.
Notes
Avoid overcrowding the pan to prevent steaming. Always taste along the way to adjust seasoning.
