INGREDIENTS
1 medium Bell Pepper (120g)
1 cup cooked Quinoa (from 1/3 cup dry)
1/2 cup Canned Black Beans (130g)
1/4 cup Corn (40g)
1/4 cup Diced Tomatoes with Chilies (60g)
1 Large Egg
1/4 cup shredded Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese (28g)
1/2 tsp Cumin
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the top off the bell pepper and remove the seeds and membranes. Set aside.
In a small pot, cook the quinoa according to package directions until fluffy.
In a bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, black beans, corn, diced tomatoes, cumin, salt, and pepper. Stir well.
Lightly scramble the egg in a small pan and then mix it into the quinoa filling for an extra protein boost.
Spoon the mixture into the hollowed bell pepper, packing it evenly, and top with shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese.
Place the stuffed bell pepper in a baking dish and bake for 20-25 minutes, until the pepper is tender and the cheese is melted and lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and serve warm.
