Prepare quinoa according to box directions.

Heat 1 Tbsp. olive oil in skillet. Saute onions and bell peppers until slightly tender; add garlic and cook until onions and peppers are translucent and tender. Stir in cooked quinoa, cumin, salt and pepper.

Stuff mushrooms and place on foil-lined baking sheet. Drizzle with remaining olive oil, sprinkle with paprika and additional salt/pepper if desired; wrap mushrooms for baking. Bake until heated through and mostly tender (about 15 min.). Unwrap mushrooms and bake another 5-10 min. (until top is browned and slightly crisp).
