How to Make Bell Peppers Ole

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup cooked quinoa, 1 (15-ounce) can black beans (rinsed and drained), 1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen), 1/2 cup chopped red onion, 1/2 cup chopped cilantro, 1 jalapeño pepper (minced, remove seeds for less heat), 2 tablespoons chili powder, 1 tablespoon cumin, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Cut four large bell peppers in half lengthwise and remove seeds and membranes.
  4. Spoon approximately 1/2 cup of the filling into each pepper half.
  5. Place the stuffed peppers in an ungreased 13x9 inch baking dish.
  6. Pour 1 cup of vegetable broth into the bottom of the baking dish.
  7. Cover with foil and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until peppers are tender.
  8. Remove foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes to allow the filling to brown slightly.
  9. Garnish each serving with 1 tablespoon of your favorite salsa and a crumbled tortilla chip.
