Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large red, green or orange peppers, cut in half lengthwise, seeds removed
  • 2 cups of cooked brown rice
  • 1 tbsp (15 mL) olive oil
  • 3 large fresh portabella mushrooms, diced
  • 1 small red onion, diced
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 can (796 mL / 28 oz)) diced tomatoes, partially drained
  • 1 package of Tex-Mex seasoning
  • ¾ cup (175 mL) canned black beans
  • ¾ cup (175 mL) frozen corn

  • Optional: Chopped cilantro, diced avocado, sour cream, and salsa

  2. Cut peppers in half lengthwise and remove seeds. Place cut side up in a shallow baking dish. Set aside
  3. Cook brown rice as per package instructions. Set aside.
  4. In a large frying pan, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add diced portabellas and sauté 4-5 minutes, or until most of the moisture has been released.
