1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained, rinsed |
3/4 cup cooked white rice |
4 medium green onions, sliced (1/4 cup) |
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro |
2 tablespoons vegetable oil |
2 tablespoons lime juice |
1 garlic clove, finely chopped |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
3 large bell peppers, cut lengthwise in half, seeds removed |
1 plum tomato, diced (roma) |
additional chopped fresh cilantro, if desired |
Directions:
1. Heat coals or gas grill for direct heat. Cut three 18x12-inch pieces heavy-duty foil. Spray with cooking spray.
2. Mix beans, rice, onions, 1/4 cup cilantro, the oil, lime juice, garlic and salt. Place 2 bell pepper halves on one side of each foil piece. Fill with bean mixture.
3. Fold foil over peppers so edges meet. Seal edges, making tight 1/2-inch fold; fold again. Allow space on sides for circulation and expansion.
