Step 3

Preheat oven to 375

Step 4

Boil a pot of water and precook the green bell peppers for 5 minutes to release liquid before baking

Step 5

While the water boils, heat olive oil in the skillet and cook onions until they begin to soften. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds more

Step 6

Add cumin, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper to the skillet, then add diced red bell pepper and two tablespoons of the cilantro. Cook for 2-3 minutes

Step 7

Stir in the black beans, diced tomatoes, green chilies, cooked quinoa, and lime juice. Then remove the skillet from heat.

Step 8

Place the pepper halves in a deep baking dish and divide the filling evenly between the peppers. Top each pepper with shredded cheese and remaining cilantro.

Step 9

Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, until the cheese is browned and the peppers are tender
