Hamburger for 3 meals

First evening: Burritos
I sauteed one onion and then placed in a glass container.
Then I browned one pound of grass fed ground chuck. adding salt and pepper.
I took 2/3 of the meat out of the pan and put it to one side of the glass container and removed half of the onions to put back in the pan.
In short 1/2 of onions and 1/3 of the hamburger in skillet. half onion and 2/3 hamburger in the glass lidded container to refrigerate.

I then made a 1/2 cup of quinoa in a separate pan.
I added paprika, cumin, 1 tbls. of ketchup, and a tbls of water to the meat and let it cook on low while quinoa cooked (15 minutes).
I then added the quinoa to the meat and assembled burritos with cheese (lettuce and tomato for mama and papa).
