Taco Stuffed Peppers
Just another way to satisfy your taco craving!
Ingredients
- 4 peppers (all different colors)
- 1 lb ground beef or turkey
- 1 box seasoned rice (use your favorite)
- 1 cup shredded cheese (I like pepper jack)
- 1 pkg taco seasoning (or whatever you use)
- 2-3 Tbsp. avocado oil
- 1-2 tsp. salt
- 1 bunch cilantro (optional for topping)
Instructions
- Start by preheating the oven to 400 degrees.
- Cut the peppers in half top down. I like to leave the stem on because I think it looks cool, but feel free to remove.
- Remove seeds.
- On a pan lined with parchment paper, drizzle oil on the peppers and use hands or a brush to coat entire pepper.
- Sprinkle with salt, and then put into the oven when ready.
- Bake for 15 minutes, or until tender, flipping half way through.
- While the peppers are baking, prepare the ground beef and make taco meat. Follow the instructions on the seasoning package.
- Also prepare the rice according to the package.
- Once everything is ready, combine half the rice with the meat mixture. You can use the extra as a side if you'd like!
- Spoon the mixture into the peppers and then top with cheese!
- Return to the over for about 5 minutes. You're basically just reheating everything and melting the cheese.
- Top with whatever you like - cilantro, avocado, sour cream, etc!
- Serve with extra rice and a side salad!
