Anyone else LOVE taco night? This awesome twist replaces the tortilla with a juicy sweet bell pepper for a low-carb option that still kicks that Mexican food craving! This was my first time making this recipe and --let me tell you-- it’s made its way onto my dinner rotation… Quick, easy, delicious, AND low-carb? Sign me up!

Top tip to get a tender bell pepper that isn’t raw and crunchy? Add some water to a bowl with your cut bell peppers. Pop this in the microwave for 5 minutes and let it cool while you make your filling.

Super simple and --carb conscious or not-- it is absolutely delish!

Skip the microwaving step and place water n the baking dish that you bake the peppers in. Bake peppers longer to get the same outcome for the peppers. I have another stuffed pepper recipe I do that with.
