Step 1

Bring the quinoa and water to a boil together then reduce heat, cover and simmer for 15 minutes. Fluff up with a fork and let cool. Meanwhile cut the peppers in half and clean out the seeds. Place in a 13 X 9" baking dish. Mix the diced onion, cottage cheese, black beans, beef, egg and all the seasonings together. Once quinoa is cooled mix that in too. Stuff the pepper halves with the filling, mounding it up. Add about 1 tablespoon of tomato sauce on top of each pepper then bake at 375°F for 40 minutes. The internal temperature should reach 160°F. Serve as is or topped with sour cream or tzatziki sauce.
