Mexican Stuffed Peppers with Quinoa & Black Beans

Here’s a delicious recipe for Mexican stuffed peppers with quinoa and black beans. This recipe is vegan (and gluten-free), but some melted some cheese on top or a dollop of sour cream would be tasty too if you eat dairy.

We also love these peppers topped with avocado, tomatoes, and cilantro. If you like Mexican food, you’ll love this hearty main dish. And, if you’re new to quinoa, here’s a great way to try it!

And, if you aren’t vegan, add a little cheese and sour cream, otherwise try some vegan cheese or sour cream. Enjoy!
