(Cook Time: 20-30min Prep Time: 10-15min Serves 6)
Ingredients:
- 2 lb's Ground Turkey or Ground Beef (97%)
- 1/4 C Organic Quinoa (Pre-Washed)
- 1/2 Lg Onion - Chopped
- 1 Can Black Beans (drained)
- 1 Can Diced Tomatoes (drained)
- 1 Can 4oz Diced Green Chilis (drained)
- 2 C Spinach
- 1 Pkg Taco Seasonings (or more to taste)
- 6 Bell Peppers (any color)
- 1 C Cheese - Shredded
Directions:
Brown meat in a large skillet, before fully cooked add onion & Quinoa.
Strain together Tomatoes, Beans and Chilies. Pour strained veggies into skillet add spinach and lightly toss till spinach is soft but not soggy.
Strain mixture one more time and let set and drip.
While mixture is sitting on low in skillet cut the tops off of the Bell Peppers, remove seeds and spines from inside. Even out the bottoms if you would like so they sit steady on a plate and do not tip over.
Add mixture to Bell Peppers, place in greased baking dish and top Stuffed Peppers with Cheese. Bake at 400 degrees for 20-30 minutes. If the cheese does not have a crust to your liking broil for a few minutes while watching them so you do not burn the tops.
