Instructions:

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Cut the tops off 2 medium bell peppers (any colour) and remove the seeds and membranes. Lightly brush the peppers with olive oil.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine ½ cup of cooked brown rice, ½ cup of black beans (drained and rinsed),¼ cup of diced tomatoes, 1 teaspoon of ground cumin, 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
  • Stuff the bell peppers with the rice and bean mixture, pressing gently to fill them evenly.
  • Place the stuffed peppers upright in a baking dish and cover with foil. Bake for 20 minutes.
  • Remove the foil, sprinkle ¼ cup of shredded cheese (optional) over the peppers, and bake uncovered for an additional 10 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the cheese is melted.
  • Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
