stuffed peppers


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


  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Spoon mixture into the sliced peppers and sprinkle the cheese on top.
  4. Bake uncovered until the peppers are tender and the cheese is melted, about 30-35 minutes. Add optional toppings and serve hot. Enjoy!
