enchilada style quinoa stuffed mexican peppers vegetarian recipe

Mexican food is a great option for both meat and vegetarian eaters.  It is definitely a favorite cuisine in my house so I am always looking for new ways to make healthy Mexican dishes.  We have the standard enchiladas, tostadas (check out Chai Mommas quick and simple tostada recipe), burritos and tacos but I wanted to try something new..Mexican food with Quinoa!!!  I know it sounds weird and not something you would think of adding to Mexican food, but Enchilada Style Quinoa Stuffed Mexican Peppers has now become a family favorite even for my 2 year old son. Rather than putting his quinoa filling into a pepper, I simply rolled his in a corn tortilla and topped with cheese and sauce.

Here is the super easy recipe so try it out and let me know how it tastes!  These are definitely lighter than normal enchiladas but fulfill those Mexican cravings in a heather way 🙂
