Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Cut the tops off the long horn peppers and remove the seeds and membranes from inside.

In a large bowl, mix the cooked quinoa or rice, black beans, diced tomatoes, diced onions, corn kernels, shredded cheese, chopped cilantro, olive oil, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined.

Stuff each pepper with the quinoa mixture, pressing it down gently to pack it.

Place the foil-wrapped peppers on the preheated grill and cook for about 15-20 minutes or until the peppers are tender and slightly charred.

Carefully unwrap the foil and transfer the grilled stuffed peppers to a serving plate.

Garnish with additional chopped cilantro if desired.
