Ingredients:

• 4 large green bell peppers
• 1 cup cooked white or brown rice
• 1/2 cup cooked black beans
• 1/2 cup cooked quinoa
• 1/2 cup diced pineapple
• 1/2 cup diced mango
• 1/2 cup diced red onion
• 1/2 cup diced red bell pepper
• 1/2 cup diced jalapeno pepper (seeds and membranes removed for less heat)

3. Remove the peppers from the oven and stuff them with the rice and bean mixture, pressing down firmly to pack the filling tightly.
4. Return the stuffed peppers to the oven and bake for another 20-25 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the filling is heated through.
5. Remove the stuffed peppers from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve with lime wedges on the side for a burst of tangy flavor.
