Ingredients
- piece large tomatoes
- piece yellow onion, peeled and diced small
- piece red bell pepper, seeded and diced small
- clove garlic
- piece corn, kernels removed
- cup cooked black beans
- cup cooked quinoa
- dash salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Spicy Cilantro Pesto
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Cut the tops off of the tomatoes and scoop out the flesh, leaving a ½-inch wall. Set the tomatoes aside while you prepare the filling.
- Place the onion and red pepper in a large saucepan and sauté over medium heat for 10 minutes. Add water 1 to 2 tablespoons at a time to keep the vegetables from sticking to the pan. Add the garlic and cook for 2 minutes, then add the corn, black beans, and cooked quinoa. Season with salt and pepper and cook for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat. Add the cilantro pesto to the pan and mix well.
- Divide the quinoa mixture evenly among the prepared tomatoes and arrange them in a baking dish. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes.
