INGREDIENTS
1 medium Bell Pepper (120g)
1/2 cup cooked Quinoa (92g)
1/2 cup Black Beans, drained (130g)
1/2 cup reduced-fat Cheddar Cheese, shredded (56g)
2 large Egg Whites (66g total)
1 tbsp Fire-Roasted Salsa (15g)
1/2 tsp Ground Cumin
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Slice the top off the bell pepper and remove seeds and membranes. Set aside the pepper shell.
In a bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, drained black beans, egg whites, fire-roasted salsa, and ground cumin. Season with salt and pepper.
Fill the bell pepper with the quinoa and black bean mixture. Top evenly with shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese.
Place the stuffed pepper in a baking dish and cover loosely with foil.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the pepper is tender and the filling is heated through.
Remove the foil during the last 5 minutes of baking to allow the cheese to melt and lightly brown. Enjoy warm.
