3 cups cooked Quinoa

6 to 8 Bell Peppers

1 cup corn kernels

1 cup black beans, rinsed and drained

1/2 cup roasted green chilies, chopped

1 teaspoon cumin

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon pepper

1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

3/4 cup pepper jack, shredded

1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled

1/2 cup water

Directions

Cook the Quinoa according to package directions. I used my rice maker and the Quinoa is beautiful.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked Quinoa, corn, beans, tomatoes, and green chilies. Mix well.

Add all the seasons and mix well.

Add the cheese and mix well.

Cut The top off the pepper and clean the inside. Stuff the pepper with the Quinoa mix.

Place the stuffed peppers in a baking dish and add 1/2 cup water to the bottom of the dish.

Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes until the pepper is tender and the stuffing is heated through.

Enjoy!
