For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the rice and bean mixture. Feel free to substitute the Swiss cheese with Monterey Jack or cheddar cheese. To save time, use pre-cooked rice. If you don't have tomato sauce on hand, you can use crushed tomatoes or marinara sauce instead. The peppers can be prepared ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator until ready to bake.
