Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Cut the tops off of the bell peppers and remove the inside membranes and seeds. Arrange the peppers cut-side up in a rectangular baking dish. 9-inch by 13-inch is a good size.
- Cook the quinoa. Rinse it well under cold water, then place in a medium saucepan. Add 1 1/2 cups water and bring to a boil over high heat. Once it comes to a boil, reduce heat to low and cover. Simmer until fluffy and the water is absorbed, 15-20 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Set a large saute pan over medium heat. When hot, add the olive oil. Add the onion, bell pepper, and oregano and cook, stirring occasionally, until the veggies are tender and the onion is a bit browned, 6-7 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in the cooked quinoa, black beans, diced tomatoes, corn, green chiles, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper.
- If you're adding chicken to all, stir that in now. If you're only adding chicken to some, first fill the peppers you'd like to be meatless, then stir the chicken into the mix, about 1/4 cup diced chicken per pepper.
- Finish dividing the mixture between the bell peppers. Carefully add 1/2 cup of water to the bottom of the baking dish and cover the dish tightly with foil.
- Bake until the bell peppers are fork-tender, 30 to 40 minutes. Remove the foil and sprinkle with cheese (omit cheese or use vegan cheese for the dairy-free/vegan versions). Bake until the cheese has browned, about 10 more minutes.
- Serve with assorted toppings.
QUINOA, SWEET POTATO AND PEPPERS
This is a riff on a recipe I found in Harley Pasternak's 5 Factor World Diet. Combining sweet potatoes and Quinoa sounded like a great idea to me. Instead of water for the quinoa, use a low salt vegetable stock (I used the water which remained after cooking an artichoke, but it could be anything, although I don't recommend commercial due to the salt thing). The guaram masala has a nice "sweet" taste which works well with the sweet potatoes. You can add in a little more if you like it. If you can't find it, your favorite curry powder will work. Try to get a bell pepper that is a different color than the jalopeno. Adds a visual dimension. Or, perhaps, helps those who don't want any heat to remove the jalopenos. Serves two as a main course. As a side, of course, it will go further.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Dice the sweet potatoes to 1/2 inch or smaller.
- In foil, lay out the potatoes and shallots, coating them with just a little bit of oil so they moisten properly. Sprinkle on the nutmeg, the ground pepper, and the curry or the garam masala. Roast for approximately 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, LIGHTLY toast the quinoa for no more than 4 minutes in a little of the oil in the saucepan you will use to cook it, on the stovetop. A moderate/low temp works best, and continually move the quinoa around to prevent burning.
- Add the water/veggie stock (this may splash back) . Add the jalopeno.
- When this comes to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook for 12-15 minutes at a simmer. It is best to cover, but check to see if you need to add more water.
- As far as the bell pepper goes: I add it 2 minutes before cooking is done, but if you prefer your pepper less au-dente, add it sooner, mix and re-cover.
- When done, if needed, drain the quinoa. Add in the roasted sweet potato/shallot mixture, and serve hot. Or save for a future meal.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with a reusable baking mat or parchment paper.
- Arrange poblanos on the prepared baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the skins begin to turn brown and pull away from the flesh.
- Meanwhile, make the filling: Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the red onion, season with salt, and sauté for 3 minutes, until beginning to soften. Add the garlic and sauté for 1 minute, until fragrant. Add the cumin, coriander, and cayenne and stir to coat the vegetables with the spices.
- Add the quinoa, beans, corn, tomato sauce, and lime juice and season with salt. Stir to combine, then cook until heated through, about 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the chopped cilantro.
- Transfer the roasted poblanos to a bowl and cover with a plate or plastic wrap. Steam for 15 minutes.
- Reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C).
- Peel the skins off the poblanos. Leaving the stem intact, cut a slit lengthwise down each pepper to form a pouch. With a small spoon, carefully remove the seeds. The poblano flesh will be delicate-it's fine if it tears a bit.
- Lay the peeled poblanos side by side in a greased 9-x13-inch (22 cm x 33 cm) baking dish. Stuff each pepper with about ½ cup of the filling. Top each pepper with 2 tablespoons of Monterey Jack cheese.
- Bake the stuffed peppers for 15-20 minutes, until the filling is completely warmed through and the cheese is melted and beginning to brown.
- Serve the peppers garnished with cilantro leaves and serve with avocado slices and lime wedges.
- Enjoy!
