Quinoa with peppers and beans is a healthy and delicious dish that is perfect for a quick and easy meal. Quinoa is a grain that is high in protein and fiber, and it is also a good source of iron and magnesium. Peppers are a good source of vitamins A and C, and they also contain antioxidants that can help to protect your cells from damage. Beans are a good source of protein, fiber, and iron, and they are also a good source of vitamins and minerals. When these three ingredients are combined, they create a dish that is both nutritious and delicious. This dish is also vegetarian and can be easily made vegan by omitting the cheese.
