A tasty and healthy take on regular tacos are these gluten-free taco-stuffed peppers. They have gluten-free taco seasoning mixed with ground beef or turkey, black beans, corn, and tomatoes to make a tasty filling. This is a great gluten-free dinner option!
Ingredients: 4 large bell peppers, any color. 1 lb ground beef or ground turkey. 1 small onion, chopped. 2 cloves garlic, minced. 1 packet gluten-free taco seasoning mix. 1 15 oz can gluten-free black beans, drained and rinsed. 1 cup gluten-free corn kernels frozen or canned. 1 cup gluten-free diced tomatoes. 1 cup shredded gluten-free cheddar cheese. Salt and pepper, to taste. Olive oil, for cooking.
Instructions: Turn on your oven and heat it up to 375F 190C. Peel the bell peppers and cut off the tops. Then take out the seeds and membranes. Paint the peppers with a little olive oil on the outside, then put them in a baking dish. Put some olive oil in a big pan and heat it over medium-low heat. Put in the minced garlic and chopped onions. Saut until the onions turn clear. Put the ground beef or turkey in the pan and break it up as you cook it until it turns brown. If you need to, drain off any extra fat. To make the tacos gluten-free, add the black beans, corn, and diced tomatoes and mix them in. For a few more minutes, cook until everything is heated through and well mixed. If you want, you can add salt and pepper to taste. Put some of the taco filling into each bell pepper and gently press down to pack it in. Add cheddar cheese shreds to the top of each stuffed pepper. Place the baking dish in a preheated oven and cover it with aluminum foil. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the peppers are soft. Take the foil off and bake for another 5 to 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown. Take them out of the oven carefully and let them cool a bit before you serve them. If you want, you can add fresh cilantro as a garnish. Have fun with your gluten-free peppers stuffed with tacos!
