Mexican Stuffed Peppers

Ingredients

  • 4 medium bell peppers (any color you like)
  • 1 pound ground turkey or beef
  • 1 cup cooked rice (white or brown)
  • 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup corn (fresh, frozen, or canned)
  • 1 cup salsa (go with your favorite store-bought or homemade)
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (like cheddar or Monterey Jack)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. First things first, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grab those bell peppers, slice the tops off, and remove the seeds. Set them aside.
  2. In a large skillet, cook the ground turkey or beef over medium heat until it’s fully browned. Drain any excess grease if needed.
  3. Stir in the cooked rice, black beans, corn, salsa, chili powder, and cumin. Season it with salt and pepper to taste. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes.
  4. Now it’s time to stuff those peppers! Fill each pepper generously with the meat and rice mixture, packing it in there like you mean it.
  5. Place the stuffed peppers upright in a baking dish. Pour a little extra salsa on top and sprinkle the shredded cheese over the peppers.
  6. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
  7. Once done, take them out and let them cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh cilantro if you’re feeling fancy.
