I LOVE this recipe!! You can stuff any veggies with this: sweet potatoes, squash, zucchini boats, peppers!! If you are doing keto this recipe works and if your kids like carbs, give them a tortilla with their dinner.

black olives

Greek yogurt or sour cream, optional

Cilantro, optional

1 can black beans

1 🥑 avocado

shredded cheddar cheese

*flour tortillas for the kids or anyone in the family not doing low carb

instructions:

 Preheat oven to 400. Cook quinoa (add some salt, cumin, & chili powder to quinoa). Cook your meat, onions, & garlic until cooked thru on the stovetop. Add seasonings. Wash your bell peppers. Spray 9x13 with cooking spray. Place the bell peppers in the pan. Cook infilled bell peppers for 15 mins. Mix meat mixture with cooked quinoa. When done, Fill each pepper with taco meat mixture, & top with olives and cheese. Cook for 30 minutes or until done. Top with Greek yogurt, avocado, & cilantro. Enjoy!
