Taco Stuffed Peppers

These taco stuffed peppers are packed with flavor and easy to make! Tastes just like a taco, without the carbs!

Taco stuffed peppers are the perfect dinner for a lazy weeknight! Preferably Tuesday for “taco Tuesday”! They are also a great option for those who are watching their carb intake!

I don’t know many people, if any, who have said they don’t like tacos. Tacos are pretty much a staple meal in my household. They are delicious, easy, filling, and just good!

Everything you put in an original taco is what’s stuffed in these sweet bell peppers! Beef, taco seasonings, salsa, sour cream, cheese and cilantro or parsley for my fellow non cilantro lovers!

Sometimes, the most simple ingredients create the most powerful flavors! And thats the case for this recipe. Real simple ingredients, big flavor!
