Southwestern Quinoa Stuffed Bell Peppers is a Tex Mex flavored healthy meatless entree recipe that's full of protein, vegetables, and grains.

This meatless recipe is so hearty and filling you won’t miss the meat. However, you can easily add 1 pound ground beef or ground turkey, if desired. Additionally, you can serve it as a side dish with my Six Minute Flat Iron Steak.

The bell peppers make a beautiful presentation but if you’re not fond of bell peppers you can use poblano peppers. As well, the quinoa and black bean mixture taste amazing without the pepper flavor. You may want to skip the peppers altogether and simply bake the quinoa in a casserole dish for the designated time.

For added flavor, top your Southwestern Quinoa Stuffed Bell Peppers with sliced avocados, sour cream, and/or salsa.

I find the stuffed peppers to be a great recipe to make when entertaining since vegetarians like them. Additionally, because they’re so hearty, meat-eaters enjoy them too.

This recipe can be made in about 40 minutes which makes it a good weeknight meal as well. What is your go-to weeknight meal?

    Is the water used to cook the quinoa? Surely it’s not mixed with the bean mixture.

      Yes, it is. I removed it and updated the recipe, I agree that was confusing.
