Quinoa Stuffed Poblano Peppers

4 poblano peppers-cut length ways
3/4 c uncooked Quinoa
1 1/2 c water
1 diced onion
1 bell pepper (I used half red and half orange)
1 jalepeno
2 garlic cloved
2 c tomato juice
1 c cheese

Preheat oven to 400
Cooked the Quinoa in the water, set aside.
Sautee the onions, peppers, and garlic in a 1 T oil. (I added cumin, pepper, and red pepper flakes)
Combine quinoa and onion mixture and put in poblanos shells and place in oven safe 9 X 13
Pour tomato juice around peppers in the pan and place cheese on top of peppers.
Bake 20 minutes and when served pour tomato juice on top

-This was AWESOME!  It served us for 3 meals.  I've been using the left over Quinoa mixture as a side dish.
