With summer here and grilling season in action, I love to bring all my cooking out to the BBQ. Thus, these Black Bean Stuffed Peppers are deliciously grilled.
These peppers are packed with protein, fiber, and wholesome ingredients. They have a Mexican flavour to them and perfectly topped with some fresh cilantro.
I use them as my main dish, but they are a perfect side or even appetizer for when company is over.
