Recipe makes 6 servings.
Ingredients
- 6 medium bell peppers
- 1 cup cooked quinoa
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion chopped
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1 15 ounce canned diced tomatoes
- 1 15 ounce can black beans
- 1 cup frozen or canned corn
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup shredded cheese of choice
- Chopped cilantro, green onions, sprouts, sour cream, or any other desired toppings
Directions
- Preheat oven to 375°F, and prepare the peppers by cutting in half lengthwise and removing insides. Place peppers in a baking dish cut side up, and pour water around the peppers — just enough to cover the bottom of the pan.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and saute for about 2-3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute. Stir in cooked quinoa, diced tomatoes, black beans and corn. Season with cumin, paprika, salt and pepper. Reduce heat to low and cook for additional 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Spoon mixture into the sliced peppers and sprinkle the cheese on top.
- Bake uncovered until the peppers are tender and the cheese is melted, about 30-35 minutes. Add optional toppings and serve hot. Enjoy!
