Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400° degrees.
- Begin by adding your diced green peppers, onion, and minced garlic to a medium sized pan along with a few drops of oil (or water). Stir frequently until fragrant.
- Add the veggie broth, quinoa, seasonings, black beans, corn, and fire roasted tomatoes to the pot and mix. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a low-medium temperature and let simmer. Stir frequently so that ingredients do not stick to the bottom.
- Once all of the liquid has been absorbed, add in the lime juice and stir.
- Place the halved bell peppers on a baking sheet facing up. Transfer a generous portion of the quinoa mixture to each pepper, then place in the oven and cook covered for 30 minutes or until peppers are tender.
- Top with Fresh Cravings Salsa of your choice plus any additional toppings. Serve immediately. Enjoy!
