Instructions
1

Preheat your oven to 375°F. Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds, setting them aside.

2

In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of quinoa and 2 cups of chicken broth, bringing it to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the quinoa is fluffy and the liquid is absorbed.

3

In a large mixing bowl, shred 2 cups of leftover rotisserie chicken and add the cooked quinoa, 1 cup of black beans (rinsed and drained), 1 cup of corn, 1 teaspoon of cumin, 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika, and salt and pepper to taste.

4

Mix everything until well combined. Stuff each bell pepper with the chicken and quinoa mixture, packing it tightly.

5

Place the stuffed peppers upright in a baking dish and cover with aluminum foil. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.

6

While the peppers are baking, prepare the avocado lime drizzle by blending 1 ripe avocado, the juice of 2 limes, 1 clove of garlic, and a pinch of salt until smooth.

7

After 25 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes to slightly char the tops. Once done, remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes.

8

Drizzle the avocado lime sauce over the stuffed peppers before serving, and garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.
