Ingredients
- 4 large bell peppers (any color you like—because you’re fancy)
- 1 pound ground chicken or turkey (or use beef for a heartier option)
- 2 tablespoons Tinga Tomorrow Spice
- 1 cup cooked quinoa or rice (because we all need a little grain action)
- 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes (with juices)
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed (for extra protein)
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend, because cheese makes everything better)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
- Lime wedges, for serving
Directions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) because you want those peppers to roast like they just got a facial.
Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds. If you’re feeling artistic, you can carve little faces into them, but we’ll leave that up to you.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Toss in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.Cook the Meat:
- Add the ground chicken (or turkey) to the skillet, breaking it up as it cooks. Sprinkle in the Tinga Tomorrow Spice, salt, and pepper. Cook until the meat is browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.Mix It Up:
- Stir in the cooked quinoa (or rice), diced tomatoes, and black beans. Mix everything together and let it simmer for about 5 minutes to meld the flavors. If it’s too dry, add a splash of chicken broth or water—no one likes a dry filling!Stuff Those Peppers:
- Spoon the flavorful mixture into each bell pepper, packing it tightly. Top each stuffed pepper with shredded cheese—because, honestly, more cheese is never a bad idea.Bake:
- Place the stuffed peppers in a baking dish, add a splash of water to the bottom (to keep them from drying out), cover with foil, and bake for 25-30 minutes. Remove the foil for the last 10 minutes to let the cheese get all melty and bubbly.Garnish and Serve:
- Once they’re done, remove the stuffed peppers from the oven and let them cool slightly. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side for that zesty finish.
