A harmonious blend of flavors, textures, and nutrients in a power bowl featuring lean ground beef, quinoa or brown rice, and colorful veggies, topped with a lime-cilantro dressing.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 1 cup quinoa or brown rice
  • 1 cup mixed vegetables (e.g., bell peppers, broccoli, corn)
  • 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Optional: feta cheese, crumbled
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil for cooking

Instructions

  1. Cook the grains by preparing the quinoa or brown rice according to package instructions.
  2. Sauté the beef in a large skillet with olive oil over medium heat, seasoning with salt and pepper, until browned and fully cooked (7-10 minutes).
  3. Add the mixed vegetables and black beans to the skillet, cooking until everything is heated through (about 5 minutes).
  4. Prepare the lime-cilantro dressing by whisking together lime juice and chopped cilantro in a small bowl.
  5. Assemble the power bowls by placing a scoop of quinoa or rice at the base of each bowl, topped with the beef and vegetable mixture.
  6. Drizzle the lime-cilantro dressing over the top and sprinkle with feta cheese, if desired.
  7. Serve immediately or store in meal-prep containers for easy lunches.

Notes

To make it meatless, substitute ground beef with lentils or chickpeas. Use frozen veggies for quick preparation.
