Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Carefully slice the tops off the bell peppers and remove seeds and membranes.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked rice, black beans, diced tomatoes, cheese, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. If using meat, ensure it’s cooked before adding.
Fill each pepper with the rice and cheese mixture, packing it lightly. Place the stuffed peppers in a baking dish.
Cover with aluminum foil and bake for about 30 minutes. Remove the foil, sprinkle extra cheese on top, and bake for another 15 minutes until golden.
Let cool slightly, garnish with herbs, and serve warm.
