  1. Add chicken broth and water to a saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Add sorghum and reduce heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for 60 minutes, or until sorghum is soft. Remove from heat, fluff with fork, and let cool, at least 10 minutes.
  2. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and spray a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine cooked sorghum, salsa, garlic, nutritional yeast, cumin, chili powder, corn, spinach, and pinto beans. Mix until combined.
  4. Stuff peppers with mixture until all peppers are full, place on baking sheet, and cover with tin foil.
  5. Bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until peppers are soft.
  6. Remove from oven. Top each pepper with a dollop of Greek yogurt, avocado slices, a dollop of salsa, red onion, and cilantro. Serve with a lime wedge.
