Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 4 large green bell peppers - tops, seeds, and membranes removed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ cup chopped onion
  • 2 cups cooked rice
  • 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed

  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin

Directions

  1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onion in the hot oil until softened and transparent, 5 to 10 minutes.
  2. Mix rice, black beans, tomatoes, and cooked onion in a large bowl. Add chili powder, garlic salt, cumin, 1/2 teaspoon salt; stir until evenly mixed. Fold 1 1/2 cups Mexican cheese blend into rice mixture. Spoon rice mixture into each bell pepper.
