Bell pepper Tuna melt

This is a meal that is filling, low in calories and carbs (all from veggies).

Ingredients

Tuna - 2 cans
Onions -3 (Chopped finely)
Green chilies (Thai) -3 or Jalepneos -2
Garlic -3 cloves
Cumin powder- 1/2 tsp
Cayenne pepper - 1/2 tsp
Ground Black pepper - 1/2 tsp

Bell pepper - 3 nos
Mozzarella Cheese- 1/2 cup (I like to use a taco blend for more flavor)

Preheat oven to 400 deg F

Heat oil in a pan. Saute the onions, green chilies and garlic (till onions are transparent).
Add the tuna. Add the turmeric powder, salt, black pepper and cayenne pepper.
Saute the mixture well (till it starts browning).

Cut the bell peppers in half( horizontally). Remove the seeds and stalk.
Fill up tuna stuffing. Top up cheese.

Bake in the oven for 30- 40 mins. ( The bell pepper must be cooked and the cheese melted).

I served it with roasted broccoli sprouts - http://www.recipezaar.com/56103
which can be cooked in the oven simultaneously (Hence no added work).
