For the past few week my boyfriend has been asking me to find a recipe for stuffed peppers. I wanted to try something new and I am a big fan of spice, so I went for a Mexican style stuffed pepper. I found this recipe in my nutrition/recipe pamphlet from the #TeamChristmas challenge (another post to come on the challenge). This recipe was quite simple, easy to tweak, and very tasty.
Ingredients:
- 4 seeded bell peppers
- 1 tsp coconut oil
- 1 red onion- diced
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 1 Tbs cumin
- 2 Tbs ancho chili powder
- 1 can of tomato paste
- 2 tsp garlic- minced
- 1 lime- juice only
- 1 can of diced tomatoes- drained (~14 oz)
- 1 can of black beans- drained
Directions:
- Preheat over to 350 degrees.
- Heat oil in a sauce pan over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook until translucent.
- Add garlic to the onions and cook for 1 minute.
- Add ground turkey and cook thoroughly.
- Add spices, tomato paste, canned tomatoes, and black beans. Cook for a few minutes to heat though.
- At this time you can add extra spices after tasting.
- Place the peppers in a 9 x 9 baking dish and fill each pepper evenly.
- Cover with foil and bake for 30-35 minutes.
- Top with sour cream and/or cheese.
