Taco Stuffed Bell Peppers 

Ingredients:

4 large bell peppers (any color)

500g ground beef or turkey

1 small onion, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 packet taco seasoning

1 can (400g) diced tomatoes, drained

1 cup cooked rice

1/2 cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional)

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).

Prepare the bell peppers by cutting off the tops and removing the seeds and membranes. Blanch them in boiling water for 2-3 minutes, then drain and set aside.

Cook the ground beef or turkey in a large skillet over medium heat until browned. Add chopped onion and garlic; sauté until softened.

Stir in taco seasoning, drained diced tomatoes, cooked rice, and black beans. Cook for an additional 5 minutes.

Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Stuff each bell pepper with the taco mixture, packing it tightly. Place the stuffed peppers in a baking dish.

Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top of each stuffed pepper.

Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro before serving.

Notes:

Serve with a dollop of sour cream, salsa, or guacamole on the side.
