Lemon Pepper Tilapia & Quinoa Stuffed Bell Pepper

Made this last night! It was my first time cooking with quinoa but I was told its a lot like rice just with more protein so I figured I would give it a try. I LOVED it. We tilapia frequently so this is just an example of how I cook it from time to time....super easy....takes about 10 minutes total. I hope you enjoy!
