INGREDIENTS
1 large red bell pepper
1/2 cup cooked quinoa
1 cup black beans
1/2 cup fire-roasted diced tomatoes
1/4 cup chopped red onion
1 garlic clove
1 tsp olive oil
1/2 cup non-fat plain Greek yogurt
1 tsp lime juice
1 tsp cumin powder
1 tsp chili powder
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tbsp fresh cilantro
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Slice the top off the red bell pepper and remove the seeds and membranes. If desired, lightly roast the pepper in the oven for 5 minutes to enhance its flavor.
In a skillet, heat 1 tsp olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the chopped red onion and minced garlic until softened and aromatic, about 2-3 minutes.
Stir in the fire-roasted tomatoes, cumin powder, and chili powder, cooking for an additional minute to allow the flavors to meld. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Add the cooked quinoa and black beans to the skillet, stirring to combine all ingredients evenly. Remove from heat.
Stuff the roasted bell pepper with the quinoa and black bean mixture, pressing it down lightly to pack the filling.
Place the stuffed pepper in a baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, until the pepper is tender and the filling is heated through.
Remove from the oven and top with non-fat plain Greek yogurt, a drizzle of lime juice, and garnish with fresh cilantro.
Serve warm and enjoy your balanced, protein-rich meal.
