Flavorful Mexican Stuffed Bell Peppers

Mexican-inspired Stuffed Bell Peppers

Today, I’m excited to share my twist on a classic comfort food dish that brings back memories of family gatherings and festive occasions. These Mexican-inspired stuffed bell peppers are a vibrant and tasty way to switch up your dinner routine.

Ingredients:

• 4 large bell peppers
• 300g ground pork
• 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 cup cooked rice
• 1 cup salsa
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1 tsp chili powder
• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• Salt and pepper to taste

Kitchen Tools:

• large knife
• cutting board
• saucepan
• mixing bowl
• baking dish

Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes. Place the peppers upright in a baking dish.

In a saucepan, brown the ground pork over medium heat. Add the cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper, cooking until the pork is no longer pink. Remove from heat and mix in the black beans, cooked rice, salsa, and half of the shredded cheese.

Spoon the mixture into the hollowed-out bell peppers, packing them tightly. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top of each pepper.

Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 25-30 minutes until the peppers are tender. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and lightly browned.

Once done, let the stuffed bell peppers cool for a few minutes before serving. These peppers are bursting with flavor and make for a hearty and satisfying meal.

The total weight of the cooked dish is approximately 1200g, serving 4 people with each serving weighing around 300g. Each serving contains an estimated 350 calories.

One unique tip for this recipe is to add a dollop of sour cream or guacamole on top of the stuffed bell peppers before serving for an extra burst of creaminess and flavor.

I hope you give these Mexican-inspired stuffed bell peppers a try and enjoy the delicious combination of flavors. Feel free to customize the recipe with your favorite ingredients and make it your own!
