Ingredients

  • 4 large bell peppers (any color you prefer)
  • 1 cup cooked quinoa
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes (canned or fresh)

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese)

Directions

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

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, diced tomatoes, and cooked black beans.
  • Stuff each bell pepper with the quinoa mixture, pressing it down gently to pack it in.
  • Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top of each stuffed pepper.
  • Place the stuffed bell peppers in a baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the peppers are tender and the cheese is melted and slightly browned.
