Ground beef, bison or ground chicken will all work for these taco stuffed peppers. For a vegetarian option try vegetarian meat crumbles, rice, extra black or pinto beans or crumbled tofu. If you use tofu be sure to buy extra firm and press it beforehand to squeeze out the liquid.
Do Peppers Need to Be Cooked Before They’re Stuffed?
Par-cooking the peppers before adding the filling ensure that they’re cooked evenly. If you like the peppers to be more crisp then you can skip this step. You will still likely need to increase the baking time to 40-45 minutes.
Topping Ideas
Just like tacos, you can top these stuffed peppers with all of your favorite toppings. Here are some ideas.
- Sour cream or plain Greek yogurt
- Shredded lettuce
- Black olives
- Avocado slices
- Salsa
- Pickled jalapeños or onions
