Ingredients

  • 6 bell peppers
  • 1 cup uncooked quinoa, rinsed
  • 1 14 ounce can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 14 ounce can refried beans
  • 1 1/2 cups red enchilada sauce
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded Pepperjack cheese
  • toppings! cilantro, avocado, sour cream, etc.

Directions

  1. 1

    Cut the tops off of the peppers and scrape out the ribs and seeds.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, combine the quinoa, beans, enchilada sauce, spices, and 1 cup of the cheese. Fill each pepper with the quinoa mixture.

  3. 3

    Pour 1/2 cup water into the bottom of a crockpot. Place the peppers in the crockpot so they’re sitting in the water. Cover and cook on low for 6 hours or high for 3 hours. Remove lid, distribute remaining cheese over the tops of the peppers, and cover again for a few minutes to melt the cheese.

    Serve topped with anything you like! These are also great with chips and guacamole, believe it or not.
