Tofu & Black Bean Stuffed Peppers

Ingredients

• 5 bell peppers

• 14 oz firm tofu

• 1/2 yellow onion, diced

• 1 can black beans (drained)

• 1/2 can corn (drained)

• 1 can diced tomatoes

• 1 cup shredded cheese, I used cheddar

• 4 garlic cloves, minced

• 1 packet taco seasoning

Directions

1. Cut bell peppers in half and remove seeds. Spray with avocado oil and bake in the oven at 375°F for about 40 minutes to soften, flipping peppers halfway through.

2. Sauté onion over medium heat in 1-2 tbsp avocado oil for about 5-6 minutes. Add tofu to the pan and cook for about 5 minutes, breaking it apart.

3. To the tofu and onions, add minced garlic, taco seasoning, black beans, corn, and diced tomatoes with juices. Cook mixture for 3-5 minutes.

4. Once peppers are softened, fill each pepper with the tofu mixture and top with shredded cheese. Broil for 2-3 minutes until cheese has melted. Enjoy!

Tip: look for “no salt added” or “reduced sodium” when buying canned food. Then you can salt your food to taste.
