Cooking Steps
Before starting, wash and dry all produce.
Core, then cut pepper into 1/2-inch pieces. Thinly slice the green onions.
Heat a large pot over medium heat. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then the beef, peppers and Mexican seasoning. Cook, breaking up beef into smaller pieces, until no pink remains and veggies are tender, 4-5 min.** Season with salt and pepper.
Add the broth concentrate, crushed tomatoes, quinoa and 1/2 cup water (dbl for 4 ppl) to the pot. Bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer, stirring once halfway through cooking, until sauce has slightly thickened and quinoa is cooked through, 19-22 min. Season with salt and pepper.
While quinoa simmers, peel, pit, then cut the avocado into 1/4-inch pieces.
Divide Mexican beef between bowls. Top with the avocado. Dollop over the sour cream. Sprinkle with the green onions.
