Meal prep containers with bean salad and stuffed peppers on an orange background

I’ve always liked the idea of meal prep, but it always seemed like such a labor-intensive way to spend a Sunday afternoon. But then I realized that I am, in fact, a food blogger who could probably figure out a solution if I put my mind to it.

So I’m very excited to kick off a spotlight week that doesn’t feature an ingredient, but rather a cooking method…meal prep! The next two weeks will be packed with so much delicious vegetarian meal prep and I kind of just want to publish it all today so you can taste it all now.

Because these recipes have been some of my favorites to make! Easy, full of flavor/variety, and something that’ll have you counting down the minutes until lunch time. So let’s get into it…stuffed pepper meal prep boxes!

Here’s what goes into this vegetarian meal prep

  • Enchilada Stuffed Peppers: Quinoa, beans, and corn lay the base for these deliciously cheesy enchilada stuffed peppers! (30 minutes to make).
  • Famous Bean Salad: A tangy, quick-to-make bean salad that becomes even tastier after a few days. (10 minutes to make).
  • The Extras: Avocado, plain Greek yogurt (or sour cream), and tortilla chips.
  • Meal Prep Containers: These are the containers I use (pictured in the photos).
Quinoa stuffed peppers on a baking sheet with melted cheese, sour cream, and avocado - Need a healthy vegetarian dinner outside of your usual routine? These Enchilada Quinoa Stuffed Peppers flavored with a quick homemade enchilada sauce and baked to bubbly, cheesy, perfection.

The Enchilada Stuffed Peppers will take the most prep work (but oh is it worth it). You’ll essentially cook some quinoa and combine it with beans, corn, cheese, and seasonings. Stuff it into peppers, top with enchilada sauce and more cheese, then bake! (The recipe will actually serve two halves per meal prep box, but I’ve just included one in the pictures so you can see all the components of the meal clearly!)

Our side dish, Mama’s Famous Bean Salad, whips together quickly while the peppers are baking. It has a spiced vinegar dressing that you’ll drizzle over the beans, corn, and peppers. Devour it with tortilla chips or spooned over the peppers (or just eat it with a spoon, so good!)

I use these meal prep containers (affiliate link), which you’ll see in the photos have separate compartments that seal shut, so none of the food leaks together. Be sure to store the tortilla chips in separate baggies so they stay crispy until you’re ready to serve.

    Made these together as suggested for meal prep this week.

    The only comment I have is the times weren’t accurate for me – the bean salad took me a lot longer than it was supposed to and having to prep 2 different things at once added some time between cleaning things off and making space. Overall still not too long and everything tasted great.5 stars

    Hi,
    I like the meal prep containers, but they don’t look like they can be microwaved…?

      That’s correct, they’re metal so do not microwave them. I usually just transfer to a microwave safe plate if I need to heat it up!
