 Cinco de Mayo Stuffed Peppers

Ingredients:

1 LB. Ground Meat, Turkey, Chicken or Beef

1 Sweet Onion, Sliced

1 15 oz. Can Black Beans, Drained & Rinse

1 Chocolate Tomato, Chopped

1 Cup Salsa

4 Assorted Bell Peppers, Cut Lengthwise & Cleaned (Orange, Red, Yellow & Purple)

1 Cup Grated Cheese, Monterey Jack

1/2 Cup Sour Cream or Plain Greek Yogurt

2 Green Onions, Sliced

1/2 Cup Strip Tortilla Chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Prepare a deep dish casserole or baking dish. Set aside.

In a large skillet sauté and caramelize onions, add ground meat, black beans, taco seasoning, chopped tomato and salsa cook until meat is no longer pink. Set mixture aside.

Cut your pepper lengthwise and clean out insides. Place peppers into dish and fill with meat mixture. Place covered baking dish in a 350 degree oven and bake for 20 minutes.

Remove from oven and sprinkle with grated cheese. Just before serving dollop sour cream, top with chopped green onions and sprinkle tortilla chips.

Well this is one of my favorite dishes because it combines two of my favorites. I love stuffed bell peppers and tacos are a go food for me! So one day when I was goofing off in my kitchen I didn’t have enough ingredients to do either and came up with a variation of this dish. This dish is one of most requested by friends and family. I serve it with my chopped avocado salad, sangria, infused pineapple and apple water.

Enjoy!

I’m passionate about my cooking and food.
