  6. 1 jalapeno, seeded and chopped
  7. 1 (15 oz) can diced tomatoes, drained, liquid reserved
  8. 1 (15 oz) can black beans, rinsed, drained
  9. 3/4 cup quinoa
  10. 1 1/2 cups water
  11. 4 large red bell peppers, halved lengthwise, ribs removed

Instructions
  1. Heat oil in saucepan over medium heat. Sauté onion, celery and jalapeno for about 5 minutes, until soft, then add cumin and garlic and cook for an additional minute.
  2. Stir in drained tomatoes (reserving liquid) and cook for 5 minutes until most of the liquid has evaporated.

  4. Season with salt and pepper, if desired.
