Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.

  2. Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes. Set aside the tops to use later as lids. Place the hollowed-out peppers in the prepared baking dish.

  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, black beans, corn, onion, garlic, cumin, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.

  4. Stuff each bell pepper with the quinoa mixture, pressing down gently to pack it in tightly. Place the pepper tops on each stuffed pepper to cover them.

  5. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the peppers are tender.

  6. Remove the foil, sprinkle the stuffed peppers with shredded cheddar cheese, and return to the oven for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  7. Once cooked, remove the stuffed bell peppers from the oven and let them cool slightly. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side.
