Instructions

Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and swirl to coat.
Add the ground beef, breaking it up with a spatula. Season with smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Cook the beef until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat if needed.
While the beef cooks, rinse and chop the spinach, halve the cherry tomatoes, and dice the red onion.
In a bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, chopped spinach, cherry tomatoes, and red onion.
Add the cooked ground beef to the bowl and toss gently to combine.
In a small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt with a pinch of salt and pepper to make a quick sauce.
Drizzle the yogurt sauce over the beef and quinoa mixture.
Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro if desired. Serve immediately.
