Ate this for breakfast this week because I’m burned out on typical sweet American options. I’d definitely add more spices to the quinoa next time, but otherwise this was very tasty and, because I baked them all ahead of time, the stuffed tomatoes made a simple and fast breakfast in the microwave for a minute.
