Ingredients
  

  • 4 bell peppers
  • olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • ½ onion
  • 1 can black beans
  • 1 can sweet corn
  • 2 cups chopped tomatoes
  • cup tomato paste
  • 1 cup quinoa
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • ½ tablespoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon cumin
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Start by adding the olive oil to pan along with the garlic and onion.
  • Sautee them for several minutes, until they start to release their flavors.
  • Then add the black beans, sweet corn, chopped tomatoes, tomato paste, quinoa, and vegetable broth.
  • Cover your pan and let the mixture cook for about fifteen minutes.
  • Then add the paprika, cumin, salt and pepper.
  • Next, preheat your oven to 400*F or 204*C.
  • Wash the peppers, cut out the tops, and clean out the seeds.
  • Add the quinoa stuffing, and close them with the top of the pepper.
  • Add the peppers to a sheet pan and add just a tiny bit of water at the bottom, so they don't stick to the pan and burn.
  • Cook for 30 minutes and then enjoy!
