Inspired by one of my family's favorite appetizers {Stuffed Jalapenos}, a recipe which I will share with you soon, I decided to stuff some mini sweet peppers that were leftover from a Cinco de Mayo fiesta at my son's preschool. A variation of my quinoa "taco" salad {without chicken} was a healthy stuffing that was easy to mound inside the small peppers.

The day after I made the chicken quinoa taco salad I made quesadillas with the leftovers. Considering that the taco salad was acutally a leftover meal, that means that I got three completely different meals out of our chicken tacos. That's music to my ears for busy weekday dinners and lunches!

Adding quinoa to the mix is a great way to add protein along with other nutrients to this healthy and flavorful taco salad. If you have the chicken and salsa done in advance, it's a quick way to turn leftover tacos into a new meal.

This fusion of Mexican and Italian cuisines was inspired by the Italian Caprese salad. Tomatoes are still the base of this stacked salad but I have traded out the other ingredients {mozzarella cheese, basil and balsamic vinaigrette} for their south-of-the-border counterparts that my family loves so much.
