Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  2. Cut off the tops of the poblano peppers, remove the seeds, and set them aside.

  3. In a medium saucepan, combine the quinoa and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the quinoa is cooked and the broth is absorbed.

  4. In a large skillet over medium heat, sauté the red onion and garlic until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

  5. Add the black beans, corn, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  6. Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the cooked quinoa.

  7. Stuff each poblano pepper with the quinoa filling and place them in a baking dish.

  8. Top the stuffed peppers with shredded Monterey Jack cheese.

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

  10. Remove the foil and broil for an additional 2-3 minutes to brown the cheese.

  11. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro before serving.
