Number Of Ingredients 13

2 poblano chiles
1 cup fresh corn
1 cup chopped red onion
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon chopped fresh or 1 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
1 teaspoon ground cumin

3 medium to large red bell peppers
1 can (14.5 oz) Muir Glen™ organic fire roasted tomatoes with green chilies, drained

  • Heat oven to 350°F. Cut each bell pepper in half; remove seeds and membranes (leave stem on, if desired). Fill pepper halves with quinoa mixture; sprinkle evenly with cheese. Place on cookie sheet.
  • Bake 15 minutes or until peppers are tender and stuffing is hot.

I'm not a big fan of spicy food, so I used a mild chili powder. The peppers were still flavorful without being too spicy.
