1. Rinse the quinoa and cook it in boiling water until soft (about 15 minutes); then drain and let cool.
2. In a separate pot, cook the beef thoroughly until tender (approximately 15-20 minutes), then cut it into small, bite-sized pieces suitable for baby-led weaning.
3. Wash the bell peppers, remove the seeds and core, and steam them until they are soft yet retain a shape that is easy for little hands to grasp; cut into small strips or cubes.
4. Peel and dice the avocado into small pieces, ensuring they are soft and easy to pick up.
5. Combine the cooled quinoa, beef, steamed bell peppers, and avocado on a baby-safe plate; arrange in small clusters to encourage self-feeding.
6. Allow the meal to cool completely to a safe temperature before serving.

Storage Options

This meal is best served fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. If reheating, do so gently, though it is recommended to serve at room temperature.

Potential Allergies

Introduce each ingredient individually if they are new to your baby; note that beef and avocado can occasionally trigger allergies. Consult your pediatrician if any concerns arise.

Side Effects

Ensure all pieces are appropriately sized and soft to minimize choking hazards. Always supervise your baby during meal times.
