Taco Tuesday Round 2

Taco Tuesday is baaackkkkk!!!! This time taking another healthy approach with these Mexican Quinoa Stuffed Peppers. These are extremely versatile and you can get pretty creative with all of your ingredients. Here is how mine went down...

Quinoa Stuffed Peppers

What you need:

3 Bell peppers (green, red, orange or yellow)

1/2 cup of black beans (drained)

1 - 2 cups cooked quinoa 

Salt, pepper, chili powder,  to taste

Optional Add-ins: 

Protein: ground turkey, beef or chicken, 

Salsa

Jalapenos

Corn

Tomatoes

Cilantro

Green Onions

Green Chilies

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees

2. Slice peppers in half, clean out seeds and place on lightly oiled cookie sheet (line cookie sheet with aluminum foil for an even easier clean up)

 

3. Next- place the cooked quinoa, black beans, seasonings and add-ins in a mixing bowl. I used quinoa, ground turkey, black beans, salsa, chili powder, cumin, salt and pepper.

4. Once combined, stuff each bell pepper with the quinoa mixture

5. Place in the oven and bake for 35 minutes

6. Remove from the over and top with any of your favorites toppings - cheese, avocado, over easy egg, sour cream, hot sauce, etc. 

Mine came out like this...

Topped with an over-easy egg and some avocado!!

Happy Taco Tuesday everyone!!
