I love southwest-inspired cuisine, but the dishes are often unhealthy. As a dietitian, I try to come up with nutritious twists on recipes, which is how these stuffed peppers were born. -Amber Massey, Coppell, Texas

8 poblano peppers
1 can (15 ounces) black beans, rinsed and drained

1 small red onion, chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 can (15-1/4 ounces) whole kernel corn, drained
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) fire-roasted diced tomatoes, undrained

In a large nonstick skillet, cook and stir zucchini and onion until tender. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Add corn, tomatoes, rice, seasonings and beans. Remove from heat; stir in 1/2 cup cheese. Set aside., Preheat oven to 375°. Peel charred skins from poblanos and discard. Cut a lengthwise slit through each pepper, leaving stem intact; discard membranes and seeds. Spoon 2/3 cup filling into each pepper., Place peppers in a 13x9-in. baking dish coated with cooking spray. Bake until heated through, 18-22 minutes, sprinkling with green onions and remaining cheese during last 5 minutes of baking. Serve with sour cream.
