  3. In a mixing bowl, combine cooked quinoa, black beans, corn, chopped onion, cumin, salt, and pepper. Stir well.

  4. Stuff each pepper with the quinoa mixture and top with shredded cheddar cheese.

  5. Brush the peppers lightly with olive oil.

Notes

  • For a meatier version, add browned ground beef or turkey to the filling. Experiment with different cheese types, such as feta or mozzarella, for varied flavour.

  • Try using different coloured bell peppers for more visual appeal and a hint of sweetness. Add chopped jalapeños to the filling for a spicy kick.
