Instructions

6 steps

1
In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water or low-sodium broth to a boil. Add the rinsed quinoa, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until the liquid is absorbed and the quinoa "tails" pop.

2
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook for 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon until browned and no pink remains.
3
Drain any excess fat from the skillet. Add the chopped red onion and diced bell peppers to the beef.
4
Sprinkle the taco seasoning evenly over the mixture and stir well. Sauté for another 4-5 minutes until the peppers are tender-crisp and aromatic.
5
Fluff the cooked quinoa with a fork and divide it among 4 glass meal prep containers.
6
Top each container with an equal portion of the seasoned beef and pepper mixture. Allow to cool before storing in the fridge.
