Prepare Stuffed Peppers

  • Measure out 6 ounces of black beans and lightly mash with the back of a fork, leaving some beans whole for texture
  • Mix 4 ounces of the pico de gallo in with the mashed beans along with the cheese, or save the cheese to put on top of the peppers once they are stuffed
  • Cut the 2 red bell peppers in half and take out the stems and seeds of three of the halves
  • Use a spoon or fork to stuff the pico and bean mixture into three of the bell pepper halves and place on a parchment lined baking tray
  • If you didn't mix the cheese into the stuffing, sprinkle it on top of the peppers now
  • Cook the peppers at 450 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until the peppers are soft
  • Serve hot out of the oven with your hot sauce of choice and an extra sprinkle of cilantro
