Total Time 25 minutes
Servings 2

Ingredients

  • 1 Large Bell Pepper
  • 1 cup Shredded Chicken
  • 1 cup Cooked Quinoa
  • ¼ cup Salsa
  • ¼ cup diced Avocado
  • ¼ cup Beans I used a mix of Black and Kidney
  • *Optional toppings: Cheddar Cheese and a fried egg

Instructions

  • Start by heating your oven to 350 degrees.
  • Then slice the pepper in half and remove the seeds and membranes.
  • In a bowl, pour the salsa over the chicken, letting the chicken soak in the salsa for a minute. Then add the quinoa, beans, and avocado. Stir to combine.
  • Fill the pepper halves with the chicken and quinoa mixture. Sprinkle cheddar cheese on top if you like.
  • Place the peppers in the oven to bake for 15 minutes. The peppers will have softened, but will still have a bit of crunch.
  • For something extra special, serve the peppers with a fried egg with a runny yolk on top.
