Quinoa Stuffed Peppers Recipe

Recipe By The Spruce Eats

Mexican quinoa stuffed bell peppers are the perfect, hearty vegetarian dinner. Theyre full of spicy flavor, texture, and protein. Quinoa is packed with protein, fiber, and nutrition. Its a great alternative to plain old rice or breadcrumbs. Theres also a punch of protein from the black beans and some cheesy goodness from the monterey jack cheese. It will satisfy all of your dinner cravings without any meat. You can even omit the cheese if you are looking for a vegan dish. Serve on its own as a complete meal, or alongside a light salad. You can easily freeze the cooked, or uncooked stuffed peppers in a plastic bag for up to three months.
