Prep: 15 mins

Cook: 40 mins

Serves 6

Ingredients:

  • 1 box of CHi-Rizo
  • 3  Red Bell Peppers - cut in half, seeds and ribs removed
  • 1/2 cup yellow onion, diced
  • 2 tsp. garlic, minced  
  • 1 cup cooked brown rice
  • 1/2 cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup canned petite diced tomatoes, with juice
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, finely diced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

STEP 1 Preheat the oven to 375 Degrees F. Lightly spray oil onto a 9x13 baking dish. Pour a small amount of water at the bottom of the dish to barely cover the bottom. Add cut peppers to the prepared dish, cut side up.

STEP 2 Heat a large nonstick frying pan over medium-high, and add onions and CHi-Rizo. Using a spatula, break apart the CHi-Rizo and mix well with onions. Cook for 4 minutes, until onions are tender. Stir in garlic and cook for an additional 2 minutes. 

STEP 3 Reduce heat to medium and stir in rice, black beans, and tomatoes and let simmer for 3-5 minutes until thickened. Making sure to stir the mixture frequently. 

STEP 4 Remove from heat and begin stuffing your peppers until the mixture is evenly distributed to each pepper.

STEP 5 Heat in the oven for 30 minutes, until the peppers are tender. Remove from the oven. Top with fresh cilantro and your favorite plant-based sour cream.
