Ingredients
  

  • 4 large bell peppers various colors
  • 1 lb ground turkey or beef
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 1 cup black beans drained
  • 1 cup corn kernels
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup diced red onion
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Peppers

  • Preheat your oven to 200°C. Cut your bell peppers in half, remove all the seeds, and trim the stems. Place these colorful pepper boats on a parchment-lined baking sheet for filling today.

Cook the Filling

  • Heat a pan over medium heat and cook your ground meat until it is fully browned. Stir in your taco seasoning with a splash of water, following the package instructions perfectly tonight.

Assemble the Nachos

  • Fill each pepper boat with the seasoned meat mixture, black beans, and corn kernels. Make sure you pack them evenly so every single pepper gets plenty of all that delicious and hearty filling.

Add the Cheese

  • Top every filled pepper boat with a generous amount of shredded cheddar cheese. This will create a beautiful, melty and golden layer that holds all those tasty ingredients together while baking today.

Bake and Garnish

  • Bake for twenty minutes until the peppers are tender and the cheese is bubbly and golden. Remove them from the oven and garnish with fresh cilantro, and serve immediately while they are hot.

Notes

  • Use a variety of colored bell peppers to make your dish look as vibrant and beautiful as possible.
  • If you want extra heat, sprinkle some diced jalapeños over the top before putting them in the oven.
  • You can swap the meat for cooked quinoa or extra beans if you want a vegetarian version today.
  • Add a dollop of fresh guacamole or a spoonful of sour cream after baking for extra creamy flavor.
  • Pre-bake the peppers for five minutes if you prefer them to be slightly softer and more tender today.
  • Leftover rotisserie chicken works perfectly if you need to use up ingredients already in your fridge tonight.
