Ingredients

6 servings

6 medium bell peppers (any color), tops cut off and cores removed
1 package Morningstar Farms Chipotle Black Bean Crumbles, cooked according to package instructions
3 cups cooked quinoa
2 cups (8 ounces) freshly-shredded Pepper Jack cheese
1 cup good-quality salsa (I used a salsa verde with corn)
optional toppings: chopped fresh cilantro, diced avocado, extra cheese

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Arrange the peppers in a 9 x 13-inch baking dish so that the cavity side is facing up.
In a large mixing bowl, stir together the cooked black bean crumbles, cooked quinoa, 1 1/2 cups shredded cheese and salsa until combined. Spoon the mixture evenly into the cavities of the six bell peppers. Sprinkle the tops with the remaining 1/2 cup shredded cheese.
Bake uncovered for about 25-30 minutes, or until the peppers are cooked and soft and the cheese is all melted. Serve immediately, topped with optional toppings if desired.
