Ingredients:

  • 2 TB olive oil
  • 1 medium onion (finely chopped)
  • 2 cloves, crushed garlic
  • 1 (15 oz) can of diced tomatoes
  • 1 can black beans
  • ½ can (about ¾ cup) corn
  • 2 cups cooked quinoa
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 2 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 2 tsp red wine vinegar
  • 4 large bell peppers (cut in half length-wise)
  • ½ cup grated cheese

Directions:

  • Heat oil over medium heat & add oil+onion about 5 minutes until tender.
  • Add garlic & saute for 1 minute.
  • Remove from heat & add tomatoes, beans, corn, quinoa, spices & vinegar.
  • Scoop mixture into peppers & top with cheese.
  • Arrange in an 8x8 pan & fill bottom of pan with about ½ inch of water.
  • Cover with foil & cook 40 minutes.


PS Sometimes I use rotel instead of diced tomatoes when I'm feeling extra spicy.
PPS Also I use rice cheese of course which makes this a vegan AND gluten free recipe.
