½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
1 cup cooked quinoa
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

Instructions
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in the ground beef, breaking it up with a spatula. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
Sprinkle in the cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix everything well and let it cook for another 2 minutes to let those spices bloom.
In a small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, dill, and a pinch of salt and pepper to prepare the herbed yogurt sauce.
Grab a bowl and start with a base of quinoa. Top with the beef mixture, followed by the cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and a sprinkle of fresh herbs. Drizzle generously with the herbed yogurt sauce.
