Mexican Quinoa Stuffed Peppers

Flavorful fiesta quinoa is stuffed into these pretty pepper packages for an awesome weeknight meal, (vegan, gluten-free).

INGREDIENTS
STUFFED PEPPERS

• 4 large bell peppers
• 3/4 cup quinoa (dry, uncooked)
• 15 oz. can black beans
• 1 cup corn (I use frozen, thawed)
• 2 green onions
• 2/3 cup salsa
• 2 Tbsp. nutritional yeast (I use this brand)
• 1 1/2 tsp. cumin
• 1 tsp. smoked paprika
• 1 tsp. chili powder

TOPPINGS OF CHOICE

• Guacamole, salsa, dairy-free sour cream, hot sauce, etc.

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Cook quinoa according to package directions with 1 1/2 cups water/broth. (I often use vegetable broth in place of water for more flavor.)
2. Meanwhile, halve bell peppers and remove stems, seeds and ribs.
3. Rinse and drain black beans, thaw corn, and slice green onions.
