Tex Mex Stuffed Peppers

By Heather

Tex Mex Stuffed Peppers in 30 Minutes

Eating healthy has been a struggle for me lately. I always feel hungry and I think it’s because I’m not drinking enough water. Actually I know that’s the reason.

One of the healthier recipes I make at least twice a month are these amazing stuffed peppers. This is one of those meals where my diet doesn’t feel like a diet, undoubtedly due to the yummy melted cheese! The beans are an excellent tummy filler, too.

Many people stuff their peppers with rice, but I prefer them this way for a lower carb meal. Low carb seems to work for me. What’s great about this recipe is that there are no rules. I alternate using ground turkey and beef. Add cooked rice if you prefer, make it without the beans or go meatless. I like to use Salsa because it’s quick and easy, but if you don’t have use diced tomatoes and onions. The only thing you really need is the peppers.

    These look so good! I was checking out another blog and saw your recipe, so I headed on over. I can’t wait to try this, and maybe even get my non-stuffed pepper hubby to try it since it is Tex Mex!

    I’m sorry, where is the actual recipe? All I can see is the pictures, comments, and description. I’ve used the recipe before, but now I can’t see it.
