Stated plan

Capture the white queen to neutralize the Qd7+/Qxd5 discovered-attack threat, trading queens on favorable terms.

Reasoning

White's queen on b7 threatens the deadly discovered-attack idea Qd7+ (defended by the knight on b6) followed by Qxd5, winning the black queen for free once the king steps off the d-file. The cleanest way to neutralize this is to eliminate White's queen immediately. Since d5-c6-b7 is a clear diagonal, Black can simply capture the queen with Qxb7. Although the rook on b1 recaptures, that's an even queen-for-queen trade, and it permanently removes White's mating/tactical resource, leaving Black with a healthy extra pawn (including the advanced g2 pawn) against White's extra knight - a favorable trade.
