Directions

Step 1

Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Prepare Peppers: Slice off the tops of the bell peppers and remove the seeds. Set aside.

Step 3

Cook Filling: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, and sauté until fragrant. Stir in tomatoes, black beans (if using), ground meat (optional), and quinoa. Season with salt and pepper, and cook until thoroughly combined.

Step 4

Stuff the Peppers: Spoon the filling into each bell pepper, packing it well. Top with shredded cheese if desired.

Step 5

Bake: Arrange the peppers in a baking dish and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the peppers are tender and the cheese is melted.

Step 6

Serve: Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh herbs, and serve warm.

Note's

Vegetarian Option: Skip the meat and add more beans or vegetables for a fully vegetarian meal.
Flavor Boost: Add a sprinkle of smoked paprika or cumin to the filling for an extra depth of flavor.
