  • INGREDIENTS

    • 1 cup GMG Medium Salsa
    • 1 cup GMG Original Tortilla Strips crushed into small bits for topping
    • 6 Bell Peppers tops cut off and seeds and ribs removed
    • 1 cup Brown Rice
    • 1 cup Vegetable Broth
    • 1 15 oz Can Black Beans drained and rinsed
    • 1 cup Frozen Sweet Corn
    • 2 cups Cheddar Cheese, divided shredded
    • 2 tsp Taco Seasoning
    • 1 small Jalapeño seeds and ribs removed and diced
    • Cilantro for garnish

  • INSTRUCTIONS

    • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Coat a 13×9 inch baking dish lightly with cooking spray and set aside.
    • Remove tops and cores from bell peppers. Rinse out and make sure seeds are removed.
    • Cook brown rice according to instructions. I like to use vegetable broth instead of water as it gives the rice more flavor.
    • When rice is done cooking, fluff it with a fork and add it to a large bowl. Add black beans and sweet corn to the rice.
    • Next, add GMG Medium Salsa, cheddar cheese, taco seasoning and jalapeño to bowl and stir to combine.
    • Fill each bell pepper with about a cup of the rice mixture.
    • Place the bell peppers into the prepared baking dish and cover with foil.
    • Bake on center rack in oven at 400 degrees for 30 minutes.
    • After 30 minutes, remove from oven and take the tin foil off. Sprinkle the tops of the bell peppers with a tablespoon of crushed GMG® Original Tortilla Strips and a sprinkle with cheddar cheese.
    • Place the bell peppers back in the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until cheese is melted.
    • Serve bell peppers warm with a side of GMG® Medium Salsa and GMG® Original Tortilla Strips. Garnish with cilantro or jalapeño if desired.
