1. In a mixing bowl, combine the above ingredients and mix well. Season with salt and pepper to taste, set aside.
2. Mix together the beets, cheeses and cilantro and season with salt and pepper to taste. Stuff each pepper with approximately 3 tablespoons of the mixture. Batter lightly and dredge in the cornmeal.
