Ingredients (serves 4):

- 4 bell peppers (any color)

- 1/4 cup red onion, diced
- 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
- 1 lime, juiced

Cooking tips:

- To cook quinoa, rinse it well in a fine-mesh strainer, then combine with water in a pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the quinoa is tender.
- You can use any color of bell pepper for this recipe, but we recommend using a mix of colors for a more colorful presentation.
- If you don't have fresh cilantro, you can use dried cilantro or substitute with parsley.

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Cut off the tops of the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes. Place the peppers in a baking dish.
3. In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, diced avocado, black beans, corn, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
4. Spoon the quinoa mixture into the bell peppers, filling them to the top.
5. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the filling is heated through.
6. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Top with shredded cheese, sour cream, or salsa, if desired.
