Taco-Stuffed Peppers Recipe
Ingredients
- 4 large peppers, any color, sliced in half length-wise and de-seeded
- 2 Tbsp. olive oil
- 1/2 onion
- 1 pound ground pork, beef (I used ground turkey)
- 1 tsp. chili powder
- 1/2 tsp. cumin
- 1/2 tsp. dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- Juice of 1 lime
- 1 cup freshly grated Monterey Jack or pepper Jack cheese
- Toppings: sour cream and cilantro
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
- Place the peppers on the baking sheet, cut sides facing up and bake until tender, 20-25 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a large saute pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until soft, 3-4 minutes.
- Add the meat and cook until browned and cooked through, 5-6 mintues. Drain off the fat; season with chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt, and juice of lime.
- Remove the peppers from the oven. Switch the heat over to BROIL.
- Divide the meat into each pepper; sprinkle with cheese. Broil 3-5 minutes until cheese is melted on top!
- Serve with sour cream and fresh chopped cilantro!
