Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large bell peppers (red, yellow, or green)
  • 1 can black beans, rinsed
  • 1 cup corn (canned or frozen)
  • 1 cup cooked rice
  • 1 can diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
  • Water for steaming

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Slice off the tops of the bell peppers and scoop out the seeds.

  4. Stuff each pepper generously with the mixture and top with shredded cheese.
