Cooking InstructionsHide images
step 1
Bring a large pot of water to a rapid boil. In the meanwhile, cut off tops from the Bell Peppers (6) and discard seeds and membranes. Dice the remaining tops of the peppers.
step 2
Cook the whole bell peppers, uncovered in the boiling water for about 5 minutes; invert and drain well.
step 3
In a large sauté pan, heat Canola Oil (1 Tbsp) over medium-high heat and brown Lean Ground Beef (1 lb) with Onion (1/2 cup) and diced peppers.
step 4
Once the beef loses the pink color, stir in Diced Tomatoes (1 can), Taco Seasoning (1 pckg), and Taco Sauce (1 cup). Add a dash of Salt (to taste), and Ground Black Pepper (to taste). Mix well and simmer for 5 minutes.
step 5
Stir in the Shredded Cheddar Cheese (1/2 cup) until combined. Remove from heat.
step 6
Now preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
step 7
Sprinkle a little salt inside the peppers, then stuff each pepper with the meat mixture. Place stuffed peppers in a baking dish lined with parchment paper or foil. Bake for 30 minutes.
step 8
Once the peppers are done, immediately sprinkle the remaining Shredded Cheddar Cheese (1/2 cup) on top evenly. Top with Sour Cream (to taste), Fresh Cilantro (to taste), or Avocados (to taste) followed by Ground Black Pepper (to taste).
step 9
Slice 1/4 inch off of each end of a Limes (to taste) and cut it in half, lengthwise. Set one of the halves cut-side-down​​ on the cutting board, slice it at an angle, lengthwise to make lime wedges. Serve with Lime Wedges. Enjoy!
