Ingredients

  • 4 Whole Bell Peppers Multi-colored
  • 1 Can Fat-Free Refried Black Beans
  • 2 Cups Quinoa Cooked
  • 1 Cup Fresh Salsa
  • 1 Cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese

Optional

  • Sour Cream

Avocado

Fresh Cilantro

Instructions

  1. Slice the tops off of the bell peppers and set aside. Scoop out the seeds and hollow the inside of each bell pepper. If the pepper will not stand on it's own, slice a thin layer off the bottom of the pepper to help it stand.

    Place the peppers on a baking sheet and bake at 400, until tender. This will vary by oven and should be around 15-20 minutes. While peppers are cooking, you can prepare quinoa, if it is not cooked. 

    Remove peppers from oven. Drop a good heap of black beans into the bottom of each pepper. Layer with the quinoa, a good helping of salsa, cheese, and repeat. Make the final layer cheese for a nice and crispy top.

    Place peppers back into oven until cheese is nice and bubbly; roughly 10-15 more minutes. 

    Serve with optional: Fresh cilantro, avocado, sour cream, fresh cut lime, or purple cabbage. 

    ENJOY how such simple ingredients come together and create perfection!
