Cooking Steps
Preheat your broiler to high (to broil the bell peppers and buckwheat bake).
Wash and dry all produce. Drain and rinse the beans. Core, then cut the bell peppers into 1-inch cubes. Mince or grate the garlic.
In a medium pot, combine the buckwheat with 2 cups salted water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Simmer, covered, until tender, 12-14 min. Drain any excess water.
Meanwhile, toss the peppers on a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil. Season with salt and pepper. Broil in the centre of the oven, stirring halfway through cooking, until tender, 5-6 min.
Meanwhile, heat a large oven-proof pan over medium heat. Add a drizzle of oil, then the onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 4-5 min. Add the beans, garlic, Mexican seasoning and as much chipotle as you like. Stir until heated through, 1-2 min. Season with salt and pepper.
Stir the buckwheat, peppers and 1 pkg sour cream into the bean mixture. Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with cheese. Broil in the centre of the oven until cheese melts, 4-5 min. (TIP: If you don't have an oven-proof pan, transfer mixture to a baking dish before broiling.)
Meanwhile, finely chop the chives. Divide the Mexican black bean and buckwheat bake between plates. Dollop with remaining sour cream and sprinkle with chives.
