Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prep
    • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
    • Slice the top off the bell pepper and remove the seeds and membranes. Set aside. Chop the pepper top into small pieces.
  1. Make the Filling
    • Heat a little oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the diced onion, garlic, and chopped pepper top until the onion is soft.
    • Add the cooked quinoa (or rice), black beans, corn, and diced tomatoes. Stir in cumin, chili powder, and paprika. Cook until everything is well mixed and heated through. Season with salt and pepper.
  1. Stuff and Bake
    • Fill the bell pepper with the prepared mixture, packing it in tightly. If desired, top with shredded cheese.
    • Place the stuffed pepper in a baking dish, cover with foil, and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the pepper is tender and the cheese is melted.
  1. Garnish and Serve

    Top with fresh cilantro and enjoy warm. This stuffed pepper is delicious on its own or with a side salad or some crusty bread.
