- 3 cups cooked quinoa
- 1 can black beans
- 1 cup corn
- 1/2-2/3 cup salsa
- 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
- 1.5 teaspoons chili powder
- 1-2 teaspoons cumin
- 1/2-1 teaspoon oregano
- 1.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 6 mushrooms, chopped
- pico to garnish
Instructions:
Saute the mushrooms until tender and most of the water is cooked off. In a large bowl, add the mushrooms, black beans, corn, salsa, quinoa, and spices. Mix well and set aside. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. To prepare the peppers, remove the tops and seeds, and plunge into the boiling water for 3 minutes. Remove and stuff with the stuffing mixture. Cover and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the cover and bake for another 15 minutes to brown the tops. Add some pico and serve!
