Preheat a skillet over medium heat.
Season the ground beef with salt and pepper.
Form the beef into patties, about 1-inch thick.
Cook the patties in the skillet for about 5-6 minutes on each side, until desired doneness.
While the patties are cooking, prepare the quinoa according to package instructions.
Chop the lettuce, slice the bell peppers, and halve the cherry tomatoes.
In a bowl, layer the cooked quinoa as the base.
Once the patties are done, place them on top of the quinoa.
Add the chopped veggies and pickles around the patty.
Drizzle with special sauce and sprinkle with cheese if desired.
