In a medium saute pan, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat.

Add the onion and red bell pepper and cook, stirring, until just translucent, about 10 minutes. Stir in the garlic, jalapeno, and cumin and cook 1 minute more. Stir in the corn, peas, rice and freshly chopped herbs. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Stuff the peppers with the rice mixture and arrange upright in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle each filled pepper with cheese and bake about 25 to 30 minutes, until peppers are crisp tender.
