Easy and Healthy Taco Stuffed Peppers
Stuffed Peppers are a favourite as are tacos so combining the two just made sense. Our Healthy Taco Stuffed Peppers can only be described as yum on a plate.
Ingredients
6 large green pepper (green capsicum) - assorted colors, tops and seeds removed
1 cup water
1 pound ground beef (minced beef) - 85% or 90% 
1 packet taco seasoning - I used Old El Paso Low Salt
1 15- ounce black beans - plain or seasoned
1 cup brown rice
½ cup salsa
1 cup sour cream - optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Cook brown rice according to package instructions. This usually takes about 45-50 minutes, so I recommend doing this first.
- Cut off the tops of the peppers and remove the seeds.
- Pour the 1 cup of water to cover the bottom of a 9 x 13-inch baking sheet and arrange the peppers. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for about 10 minutes.
- While peppers are baking, cook black beans in a medium-sized pot according to directions. In a large skillet, cook the ground beef until brown. Drain.
- Make the taco seasoning in the same skillet used for the beef according to packet instructions. Return beef to skillet and mix with the taco seasoning.
- Add the black beans, rice, and salsa to the beef mixture.
- Stuff the peppers with the mixture and top with cheese.
- Bake them for another 15-20 minutes until the cheese is melted.
- Top with more cheese, salsa and sour cream if desired. Enjoy!
