Ingredients
  

4 large bell peppers (any color)

1 lb ground turkey or beef

1 cup cooked quinoa or rice

1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, drained

1 cup black beans, rinsed and drained

1 cup corn (fresh or frozen)

1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack)

1 tsp cumin

1 tsp smoked paprika

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp onion powder

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh cilantro, for garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes. Lightly season the insides with salt and pepper.

      In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground turkey or beef until fully cooked. Drain any excess fat.

        Add the cooked quinoa or rice, diced tomatoes, black beans, corn, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Stir to combine and heat through for about 5 minutes.

          Remove from heat and stir in half of the shredded cheese.

            Spoon the mixture evenly into the prepared bell peppers and place them upright in a baking dish.

              Cover the dish with aluminum foil, then bake for 25 minutes.

                Remove the foil, sprinkle the remaining cheese on top of the peppers, and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

                  Once done, let them cool for a couple of minutes, garnish with fresh cilantro, and serve warm.
