Instructions

To make avocado salad: In a bowl, combine avocado, onion, tomatoes, cilantro, lime juice, olive oil, salt and pepper. Mix lightly and set aside.
To make pepper filling: Heat oil in a rondeau or sauté pan. Sauté onions, corn, jalapeno, and garlic until vegetables are softened. Crumble tempeh or pulse in a food processor until it is in small pieces. Stir into sautéed vegetables: tempeh, veg broth, crushed tomatoes, chili powder, cumin, cilantro, salt and pepper. Cook for 20 minutes or until thickened.
Cut off the tops of the peppers and remove the membrane. Use tops for another application. Prepare a sheet tray with pan spray. Fill each pepper with 3/4 cup of tempeh filling. Bake in a 350F degree oven until heated through and peppers are softened, about 15 minutes. Remove from oven, top each stuffed pepper with about 2 tbsp. of avocado salad.
