Method
Step 1
Heat oven to 350F.
Step 2
Heat oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until soft, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant. Add chopped tomato and stir until combined. Season with salt. Once the tomato is soft, add cumin and chili powder. Cook for another two minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 3
Add brown rice blend. Season with more salt and cook for 10-13 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rice blend is thoroughly cooked.
Step 4
Meanwhile, cut off the top of the peppers and spoon out the seeds and veins. Place the peppers in a 9 x 13-inch baking dish and drizzle with oil.
Step 5
Fill the peppers with the rice mixture. Bake uncovered for 20 to 30 minutes until filling is heated through and peppers are tender.
Step 6
Sprinkle with cheese and bake for another 5 minutes until cheese is bubbly. Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve hot.
