Ingredients:

• 500 grams of lean ground beef
• 1 cup of quinoa

• 1 cup of diced yellow bell peppers
• 1/2 cup of chopped onions
• 2 cloves of minced garlic
• 1 tablespoon of olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste

Cooking Instructions:

1. Start by rinsing the quinoa under cold water and then leave to drain.
2. Heat the olive oil in a frying pan and cook the onions and garlic until they become soft and golden.
3. Add the diced bell peppers to the pan and let them cook for a few minutes.
4. Add the ground beef and season it with salt and pepper. Stir constantly until all the beef is well cooked.
