30 mins prepServes 3
These stuffed vegetarian bell peppers are full of Mexican flavors and are perfect for a weeknight meal. They are gluten-free and can easily be made vegan too!
1 Roast the peppers under a broiler (350 degrees for 5 min - or until the top of the peppers begins to blacken). At the same time, cook the brown rice (if it's not already pre-cooked).
2 Cut off the tops of the peppers, take out the seeds/etc. Set aside.
3 Heat the corn in a microwave safe bowl (or on the stovetop). Once warmed, stir in ~1/2 tsp cumin, ~1/2-1 tsp chili powder and 1/8-1/4 tsp salt. Set aside.
4 Heat the refried black beans on the stove, add taco seasoning to taste.
5 Spread the black beans at the bottom and along the sides of each pepper.
6 Top with corn mixture, then with brown rice, then with corn again. Spoon 1-2 Tbsp Mexican cheese blend on top of each pepper.
7 Broil at 350 degrees on low for 5 min until cheese is melted and bubbly. Serve with salsa and/or guacamole. Enjoy!!
