"Quinoa, grass-fed beef, and beans make this a delicious meal your whole family will enjoy! If you love Mexican food, you will love these! I make extra ground beef and beans and freeze them to use in recipes like this; it cuts the prep time down significantly. Enjoy topped with sour cream."

I made two changes. 1. I used olive oil instead of coconut oil. 2. I forgot black beans and realized too late. Great recipe! Good taste. The only thing that I wasn’t a huge fan of was the quinoa...
