Ingredients

• Poblano peppers - 2 large
• Quinoa - 100 grams
• Black beans - 150 grams (cooked)
• Red onion - 50 grams (finely chopped)
• Garlic - 2 cloves (minced)
• Cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Smoked paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Corn tortillas - 4 small
• Fresh cilantro - 20 grams (chopped)
• Lime - 1 (cut into wedges)
• Salt - to taste
• Pepper - to taste

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
2. Rinse the quinoa under cold water and cook it in a saucepan with 200 ml of water over medium heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for 15 minutes until the quinoa is fluffy and water is absorbed.
3. While the quinoa cooks, place the poblano peppers on a baking sheet and roast them in the oven for 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the skin is blistered and charred.
4. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped red onion and minced garlic, sautéing for 3-4 minutes until softened.
5. Stir in the cooked quinoa, black beans, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 5 minutes to heat through, stirring occasionally.
6. Once the poblano peppers are roasted, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Carefully peel off the charred skin and slice them open lengthwise, removing the seeds.
7. Stuff each roasted poblano with the quinoa and black bean mixture.
8. Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds on each side.
9. Serve the stuffed poblano tacos on the warm tortillas topped with fresh cilantro and lime wedges on the side.
