In a small sauce pan combine the rice, vegetable broth, and salsa. Cover and bring to a low boil, then lower heat to low and cook undisturbed, until all of the liquid is absorbed.
Meanwhile, halve the bell peppers from top to bottom. Remove seeds and ribs. Place in a 9x9 casserole dish.
Once the rice has finished cooking, add in the black beans, corn, garlic powder and chili powder. Add in your desired protein add in. Mix together.
Divide the filling between the bell pepper halves.
Top the bell peppers with cheese.
Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the bell peppers are soft.
Serve hot, topped with sliced green onions and more salsa if you like.
