INGREDIENTS
1 Large Bell Pepper (150g)
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa (92g)
1.25 cups Black Beans (210g, drained)
1/4 cup Fire-Roasted Diced Tomatoes (60g)
1/4 cup Diced Red Onion (40g)
1/4 cup Corn Kernels (40g)
3 Tbsp Reduced Fat Cheddar Cheese (21g total)
0.75 tsp Olive Oil (3.4g)
1 tsp Ground Cumin
1 tsp Chili Powder
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Slice the top off the bell pepper and remove the seeds and membranes. Reserve the top for presentation if desired.
In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced red onion and sauté until softened, about 2-3 minutes.
Stir in the fire-roasted diced tomatoes, corn kernels, cumin, and chili powder. Allow the mixture to warm through for about 1 minute.
In a mixing bowl, combine the sautéed mixture with cooked quinoa and black beans. Season with salt and pepper, then fold in 2 tablespoons of the reduced fat cheddar cheese, reserving the remaining tablespoon for topping.
Fill the prepared bell pepper with the quinoa and black bean mixture.
Place the stuffed pepper in a baking dish and cover with foil. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
After baking, remove the foil, sprinkle the remaining cheese on top, and return to the oven uncovered for an additional 5 minutes until the cheese is slightly melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and serve warm, optionally garnished with the reserved pepper top.
