Ingredients needed

  • Peppers: You can use any kind of bell peppers. I prefer using yellow, red or orange. These sweet peppers pair perfectly with the filling.
  • Quinoa: Feel free to use any type of quinoa.
  • Beans: I used tri- bean blend. But pinto beans or black beans work perfectly.
  • Corn: Frozen corn works perfectly for this recipe.
  • Diced tomatoes: I use diced tomatoes from a can. Tomatoes add a delicious flavor to the filling. You can also substitute salsa if you’d like.
  • Spices: I use cumin, chili, garlic powder, a dash of cayenne, salt and pepper for a flavorful filling.
  • Cheese: Any cheese will work here!
  • Toppings: You can add avocado, guacamole, lime juice, sour cream… the options are endless. Whatever toppings you choose these stuffed peppers will taste amazing.

How to make quinoa: You will need one part uncooked quinoa and two parts water. (ex. 1 cup quinoa, 2 cups water) Make sure to rinse and drain the quinoa. This removes any bitterness from the quinoa. Place quinoa and water into a sauce pan. Bring the mixture to a boil, then decrease heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes. Remove from heat and fluff the quinoa with a spoon. To make the quinoa even more flavorful you can cook it in vegetable or chicken broth. 1 cup uncooked quinoa will make approximately make 4 cups cooked quinoa.
