Baked Tex-Mex Lettuce Boats

Hi guys! So this recipe is quite off-the-wall. I wasn't even sure what to name it! I was late night and I just threw a bunch of ingredients together. But to my surprise... it was super delicious! It

requires some prep, frying, and baking.

Heres what you'll need:
1 cup of quinoa
2 cups of water
1 tbs of olive oil
1 red onion, diced
1 jalapeño, diced and seeded
3 cloves of garlic, minced
1 yellow pepper, diced and seeded
1 orange pepper, diced and seeded
1/3 cup of cilantro
Romain hearts
Lemons/lemon juice
Pepper

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and oil a baking dish.

2. Combine quinoa and water in a large sauce pain. Bring to and boil and let boil for 5 minutes. Then cover and let simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until all the water is gone.

3. In a large frying pan, combine your olive oil, onion, and garlic. Let the ingredients cook on medium for 5 minutes.

4. Add your peppers and let the ingredients cook another 3 minutes on medium.

5. Add cilantro, lemon juice (I squeezed about 3 lemon wedges on mine), and pepper to taste. If you'd like to add any other spices this would be the time.

6. Add quinoa to frying pan and thoroughly mix up all ingredients.

7. Add mixture to the baking pan and cover with foil.

8. Place your baking pan in the over and let cook for 20 minutes.

9.  Remove foil and let back another 10 minutes.

10. Enjoy! After your dish is done baking just pour it out onto your boats and top with whatever you like! I added some avocado, tomato, and alfalfa sprouts.
