• 1 tablespoon salt
• 4 large green bell peppers - tops, seeds, and membranes removed
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

• 2 cups cooked rice
• 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed

2. Bring a large pot of water and 1 tablespoon salt to a boil; cook green bell peppers in the boiling water until slightly softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain.
3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onion in the hot oil until softened and transparent, 5 to 10 minutes.
