Instructions:


Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking dish by lightly greasing it with olive oil.

Step 2: Wash the capsicums and slice off the tops. Remove the seeds and membranes from the inside, creating a hollow cavity for stuffing. Set aside.

Step 3: In a skillet over medium heat, add a drizzle of olive oil. Sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic until they turn translucent and fragrant.

Step 4: Add the cooked quinoa or rice to the skillet, along with black beans, corn kernels, cumin powder, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well and cook for another 3-4 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Step 5: Stuff each capsicum with the quinoa and bean mixture, pressing down gently to fill them evenly. Arrange the stuffed capsicums in the prepared baking dish.

Step 6: Sprinkle shredded cheese generously over the stuffed capsicums, covering them with a delicious layer of cheesy goodness.

Step 7: Place the capsicum tops back on if you like, creating little caps for each stuffed pepper.

Step 8: Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the capsicums are tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 9: Once done, carefully remove the foil and let the stuffed capsicums cool slightly before serving.

Step 10: Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves for a pop of color and added freshness.

Serve it as a main course for a vegetarian dinner or as a delightful side dish that steals the spotlight. Happy cooking!
 
I've had the pleasure of enjoying this savory delight before, and let me tell you, it's a flavor-packed experience from the first bite to the last. The tender capsicum stuffed with a savory filling of rice, veggies, and perhaps some protein like ground meat or beans, creates a perfect harmony of textures and flavors.
