Ingredients

4 medium green or red bell peppers
1 cup diced fresh tomatoes
1 cup no-salt-added cooked black beans, rinsed and drained
1 cup frozen corn kernels, thawed
3/4 cup salsa
1 cup shredded reduced-fat Cheddar, divided
1/4 cup cornmeal
2 green onions, chopped

Preheat oven to 350°F. Cut tops off bell peppers and remove seeds. Set aside.
In a large bowl combine tomatoes, beans, corn, salsa, 3/4 cup of the cheese, cornmeal, green onions, cilantro and 1/4 cup water. Spoon mixture evenly into bell peppers; sprinkle each with 1 tablespoon of the cheese.
