I cooked this up one night after needing to use tomatoes before they spoiled. I conveniently had some left over quinoa (super healthy grain) and with some other ingredients came up with this. I didn't measure so everything is approximates. Adjust to your taste. Enjoy! Ingredients:
4 large tomatoes |
2 cups cooked quinoa |
1 cup black beans |
1 -2 cup monterey jack cheese or 1 -2 cup monterey jack pepper cheese |
1/2 cup salsa |
1 teaspoon cumin |
Directions:
1. Cut tops off of tomatoes and hollow out with a spoon, reserve & chop flesh from inside, throw out juice, or freeze for soup.
2. Place tomatoes in square baking dish.
3. In a large bowl mix quinoa, beans,left over tomato flesh, 1 cup cheese, salsa, cumin and salt to taste.
4. Stuff tomatoes with mixture, top with remaining cheese.
5. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes or until heated through and cheese is melted.
