Description - Step 1

Cook the Quinoa

Take a bowl and add the quinoa. Wash it 2-3 times under running water, and drain the water. Add the quinoa to a pot, and then add the vegetable stock.
Once the quinoa comes to a boil, close the lid and cook on low flame for 15 minutes. The quinoa will soak up the vegetable stock. After 15 minutes, remove from the flame and let it rest for 5 minutes, without opening the lid. Then, open the lid and fluff up the quinoa using a fork.

Cook the Filling

Heat olive oil in a pan and sauté minced garlic for one minute. Add chopped onions and cook until translucent. Add chopped tomatoes and sauté for 2-3 minutes. Thaw frozen corn and add to the pan along with canned black beans. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, then season with cumin, salt, and paprika. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the mixture is slightly dry. Add cooked quinoa and combine, sauté for 2-3 minutes.
Next, prep the bell peppers by cutting them in half, vertically. Remove the seeds and the membrane.
