Southwestern Stuffed Peppers




I love making things that look fancy but were actually super easy to make and these def fall into that category!!

All you need:
  • Bell peppers 
  • your choice of meat (I used ground turkey)
  • 1 package of taco seasoning
  • 1 jar of salsa
  • 1 can of black beans (rinsed and drained)
  • 1 cup of frozen corn
  • shredded cheese (I used the mexican blend)
  • sour cream
  • fresh cilantro
Directions:

Literally the hardest part of this is cutting the peppers in half.  You can cut the stems off if you want and it would probably be easier but, I think the stem makes them look fancier :))  After you cut the peppers rub a little olive oil on them and bake them at 425 degrees for about 15 minutes.

While the peppers are in the oven, brown your meat and add taco seasoning according to package.  Next, add the salsa, beans, and corn to the meat.

When the peppers are done, let them cool to touch so you can fill them easily.  Stuff the mixture into the peppers and bake at 400 degrees for another 15 minutes.  

After the 15 minutes, take the peppers out and sprinkle the shredded cheese on top of each pepper.  Place them back in the oven for 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted.

Remove peppers from the oven and top each one with sour cream and fresh cilantro.
