Start by cooking the quinoa. While the quinoa is cooking, slice the peppers in half and remove the seeds. Place peppers face up in a baking sheet.
Once quinoa is cooked, place it in a large bowl and add garlic, oregano, salt, chickpeas, and tomatoes to the bowl; stir to combine.
Spoon quinoa mixture into the red peppers until they're full, then bake the peppers for 20-25 minutes, or until peppers are soft.
Top peppers with feta cheese then drizzle with harissa paste.
Enjoy!
-To make harissa drizzle-able, add it to a bowl along with 2 tablespoon of water to thin it out
-To prep ahead: simply make the quinoa mixture and store it in the refrigerator for up to 4 days; then, when you're ready to eat, you just have to slice, stuff and bake the peppers
