Zesty Ground Beef and Quinoa Stuffed Avocados

Start by cooking 1 cup of quinoa according to package instructions, usually about 15 minutes. While the quinoa cooks, heat a skillet over medium heat and add 1 pound of ground beef, breaking it apart with a spatula.

Cook the beef for about 5-7 minutes until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess fat from the skillet.

Stir in 1 teaspoon of chili powder, 1 teaspoon of cumin, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt, mixing well to combine the spices with the beef.

Once the quinoa is cooked, fluff it with a fork and add it to the skillet with the seasoned beef, mixing thoroughly.

Squeeze the juice of 1 lime into the mixture and fold in 1/4 cup of chopped fresh cilantro for a burst of freshness.

Cut 2 ripe avocados in half and remove the pits. Scoop out a small amount of flesh to create a larger cavity for the filling.

Generously spoon the beef and quinoa mixture into each avocado half, packing it in well. Garnish with additional cilantro and lime wedges for serving.

Enjoy your zesty stuffed avocados warm or at room temperature!
