Instructions

  1. 01

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. 02

    Bring a large pot of water and 1 tablespoon salt to a boil. Add green bell peppers and cook until slightly softened, 3 to 4 minutes. This will prevent the bell peppers from becoming crispy as they bake.

  3. 03

    Drain bell peppers and arrange cut-side up in a 9x9-inch baking dish.

  4. 04

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion; cook and stir until softened, 5 to 10 minutes.

  5. 05

    Transfer cooked onion into a large bowl; add rice, black beans, and tomatoes. Stir in chili powder, garlic salt, cumin, and 1/2 teaspoon salt until well combined. Fold in 1 1/2 cups Mexican cheese blend.

  6. 06

    Spoon rice mixture evenly into bell peppers; sprinkle with remaining Mexican cheese blend.

  7. 07

    Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and bubbling, about 30 minutes.
