4-6 Servings |10 Minutes Prep Time | 25 Minutes Total Time
Ingredients
1 Lb Ground Beef or Ground Turkey
2-3 Bell Peppers (any color you like)
1 Tbsp Avocado Oil
½ Cup of Salsa (or 2 tbsps on each bell pepper half)
¼ Cup Sour Cream (1 tbsp on each bell pepper half)
¼-½ Onion (chopped)
½ Cup Cheese-Mexican Blend (shredded-2 tbsps on each bell pepper)
Spices – Salt, Pepper, Cumin, Chili Powder & Taco Seasoning
Directions
- Cut the tops off of the bell peppers and take the seeds out. Then put them up right into a pot of water with salt. Bring pot to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes. Drain and set-aside.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Heat a large skillet over medium. Chop up onion and add it to the pan until they are cooked halfway through
- Add the meat and make sure to break it up and cook until brown. You can drain the fat if you want.
- Add all of the seasoning and let simmer for 5 minutes. I use a heavy hand with the taco seasoning, cumin and chili powder.
- Add chopped onions and cook for 5 minutes. Then add ground meat to this pan and break up the meat and brown. You can drain the fat if you want.
- Cut your bell peppers in half so there are 4-6 halves and they look almost like bowls. Put them onto a baking sheet and drizzle them with the olive oil.
- Divide the meat up into the bell peppers (if you had 2 then they will over flow a bit).
- Then add the cheese to each half.
- Put them into the oven for anywhere between 10-20 minutes depending on how tender you want the bell pepper. If you don’t want them that tender, just make sure the cheese is melted.
- Let cool and then add salsa and sour cream to the top.
- Enjoy!
NOTES:
Avocado: Add some to the top if you’d like! This recipe is very similar to the lettuce wrapped tacos.
Spices: Salt and pepper-just sprinkle how much you want.
