Grilled Black Bean and Rice Stuffed Peppers

from the Betty Crocker website

Ingredients

1 can (15 oz) 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 clove garlic, finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 large bell peppers, cut lengthwise in half, seeds removed
1 plum (Roma) tomato, diced
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.
4 Cover and grill packets over medium heat 15 to 20 minutes or until peppers are tender. Place packets on serving platter. Cut large X across top of each packet; fold back foil. Sprinkle with tomato and additional cilantro.
