Notes
- Please keep in mind that the nutritional information is calculated using a nutrition facts calculator. It is a rough estimate and can vary greatly based on products used.
- You can use boneless skinless thighs here if preferred. Make sure to add a little extra cook time as needed.
- For a flavor twist add ancho chili powder in place of regular.
- Use a preheated oven.
- Make sure to line your baking tray with parchment paper, for easy clean up.
- Unless it’s marked as rinsed on the bag, you’ll want to cover the quinoa it in a bowl of cold water for 2 minutes to remove the outer shell. Then rinse quinoa in a fine-mesh strainer.
- Ideally, shred your own cheese. Pre shredded cheese doesn't melt that well.
- Serve with a wedge of lime for a lovely citrus kick!
- If you want milder jalapenos, remove the ribs and deseed them.
