Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large bell peppers, any color
  • 1 cup cooked quinoa
  • 1 (15-ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup corn kernels, fresh or frozen
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/4 cup salsa

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  3. In a medium bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, black beans, corn, chopped onion, cilantro, salsa, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  4. Spoon the quinoa mixture evenly into the bell peppers.
  5. Place the stuffed peppers in a baking dish. You can add a little water to the bottom of the dish to help steam the peppers.

  • Feel free to add other vegetables like diced zucchini or mushrooms to the filling.
