Black Bean Stuffed Bell Peppers
From Emily Kauffman, Software Engineer Lead: “These measurements can be tweaked, depending on the flavors you want to highlight.”
Ingredients
Spice mix: cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, paprika, and cayenne
1 15 oz can of black beans, drained and rinsed
Mozzarella cheese, at least a cup
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Remove the tops from the peppers and clean them out. Add a sprinkling of cheese to the bottoms of each.
In a large pan, warm olive oil and add onions. Cook until soft (about 5 minutes). Add in the garlic and cook another minute.
Stir in black beans and as much of each spice as you want. Mash up some of the beans with a fork. Add the cilantro and salsa, and then cook for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the cooked rice.
Fill the peppers with the mixture and top with as much cheese as you can fit.
Bake in the oven for about 30-40 minutes.
