INGREDIENTS:
- 1 lb mini bell peppers
- 1 cup cooked quinoa
- 3 oz queso fresco (feta will work too), chopped into 1/4 inch pieces
- 2 tablespoons cilantro leaves, chopped
- 1 teaspoon lime juice
- Salt & pepper to taste
- Preheat oven to 400F. Spray a medium sized baking dish with olive oil.
- Remove the cap of each bell pepper and use a knife to cut out the pith and seeds on the inside. Rinse the bell peppers to remove the remaining seeds.
- In a medium bowl, combine the rest of the ingredients and mix well.
- Stuff each bell pepper with the quinoa mixture. It is easiest to do this with your hands, pushing the quinoa mixture into each bell pepper.
- Carefully place the stuffed bell peppers on the baking dish. Bake at 400F for 30 minutes, or until the peppers are done to your liking. Allow to sit for 5 minutes, and serve hot. Garnish with cilantro leaves.
Notes
- For this recipe I recommend using the larger mini bell peppers (if you can find those) instead of the really tiny ones, since it will be easier to stuff them.
