Grilled Portobello Vegetable Stack

If you haven't grilled vegetables before, you are seriously missing out.

4 portobello mushrooms, cleaned and stems removed (be gentle here!)
1 red pepper sliced into 1 inch strips
1 zucchini, very thinly sliced
1 red onion, sliced into 1/4 inch rounds
4 slices Swiss cheese
2 cups cooked quinoa

Heat a grill on high. Drizzle veggies with a little olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Turn the grill down to medium and lay the veggies down directly on the grill (or lay the veggies on the outside edges of a charcoal grill). Grill for three minute and then flip over and grill for another three. Place veggies on a raised rack if you have one on your grill and allow to cook for another five minutes until very soft, otherwise keep out of direct heat and check often, turning when needed. Once veggies are soft, place on of the onion slices, a couple of the red onion strips, and a few zucchini slices on a portobello and top with a slice of Swiss. Keep out of direct heat and allow the cheese to melt. Place a 1/2 cup of quinoa on a plate and top with the mushroom stack.
