1 lb. lean, ground turkey, or grass-fed beef
1/2 tbsp. avocado, or coconut oil
1 small yellow onion, diced
1 tbsp. garlic powder
1 tbsp. onion powder
1 tbsp. ground cumin
2 tsp. chili powder
12 oz glass jar of salsa (homemade OR, storebought. Look for minimal ingredients, and low sugar count)
*Optional add-ins:
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1 avocado, diced small

1 cup black beans (rinse if canned)
1 cup brown rice
Fresh cilantro, chopped green onions, and lime wedges for garnish
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees f.
Slice peppers in half lengthwise. Remove seeds.
{I place them in a large pot of boiling water for 3 minutes, then drain very well. Just to make them easier for kids to eat.} Place peppers, evenly in a glass baking dish. Set aside.
Sauté onions with the oil for 2-3 minutes, then add the turkey in a skillet and cook until just browned. Add the seasoning, and corn (if using) and continue cooking until the meat is just cooked. Drain. Add salsa. Stir.
In a large mixing bowl combine:
Your precooked turkey
All remaining ingredients
2 Tbsp chopped green onions
2 Tbsp chopped cilantro
Juice of 1-2 fresh squeezed limes
sea salt and pepper to taste
Combine ingredients, scoop tightly into peppers.
Bake at 350 for about 15-20 until heated through.

Are you looking for a way to make your people happy tonight? Look no further than Taco Stuffed Bell Peppers! These delicious and satisfying peppers are sure to please even the pickiest of eaters. Plus, they are super easy to make and can be customized with your favorite ingredients.
To start, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Slice your peppers in half lengthwise and remove the seeds. I like to blanch them in boiling water for a few minutes to make them easier to eat, especially for kids. Then, place the peppers in a glass baking dish and set them aside.
Next, sauté some onions in oil for a few minutes before adding in your ground turkey or beef. Once the meat is browned, add in your seasonings and any optional add-ins like cherry tomatoes, avocado, corn, beans, or rice. Mix in a jar of salsa and let all the flavors meld together.
In a large mixing bowl, combine your cooked turkey mixture with the remaining ingredients like green onions, cilantro, lime juice, and salt and pepper. Scoop this delicious mixture tightly into the peppers and pop them in the oven for 15-20 minutes until heated through.
Garnish with extra cilantro, green onions, and lime wedges for a fresh and flavorful touch. Your people will be asking for seconds, guaranteed! So go ahead and whip up some Taco Stuffed Bell Peppers tonight – your taste buds will thank you!??️?
