Easy Stuffed Peppers- Mexican

Stuffed orange bell pepper with guacamole

Fiesta your eyes and your mouth with super healthy, super filling stuffed peppers tonight! You can absolutely do stuffed peppers a million ways, but here is a great start. 

To make things easier, I used organic microwaveable rice. For those of you who are afraid of nuclear warfare in your home, I completely understand- you just have to add one more step of cooking the rice.

I hate when recipes come with a full history of your life and update on your nieces and nephews, so without further ado, here is the recipe!

 
 
 
 

ingredients:

•4 bell peppers 

•1 pound ground beef or turkey 

•1.5 cups rice/quinoa, I used @seedsofchange basmati rice

•1/2 jar of your favorite salsa

•Mexican seasonings (cumin, paprika, onion& garlic powder, salt, pepper

•fresh cilantro, always&forever.

 

instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375.

2. Slice the tops off of the bell peppers and scoop out the seeds.  

3. In a skillet, Cook the meat until no longer pink.

4. Add cooked grain (I microwaved mine like a barbarian), salsa, seasonings, (and black beans/corn if you want!).

5. Pour a little water in the bottom of a Pyrex (to allow it to steam)

6. Stuff the peppers with the filling and bake for 35-45 min in the Pyrex.

 

Top with guac and some chopped cilantro , always & forever.
