Description
A delightful meal combining taco flavors with bell peppers, filled with seasoned beef, rice, and cheese.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 bell peppers
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 1 can (10 oz) Rotel
- 1 can (8 oz) tomato sauce
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 cup uncooked rice
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- Cayenne pepper, to taste
- Chili powder, to taste
- Ground cumin, to taste
- Dried cilantro, to taste
- Fresh cilantro, for garnish
- Sour cream, for serving (optional)
- Hot sauce, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef with the diced onion. Season with salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, chili powder, ground cumin, and dried cilantro. Cook until the beef is browned and the onions are softened, then drain any excess grease.
- Add the Rotel, tomato sauce, minced garlic, beef broth, and uncooked rice to the skillet. Stir well to combine. Cover and reduce heat to medium-low, cooking until the rice is tender and liquid is absorbed (15-20 minutes).
- Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and incorporated into the mixture.
- Prepare the bell peppers by cutting off the tops and removing seeds and membranes. Fill each pepper with the taco rice mixture.
- Place stuffed peppers in an air fryer basket and cook at 400°F for about 10 minutes until tender. Top with more cheese and air fry for an additional minute to melt.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with sour cream and hot sauce if desired.
Notes
For a healthier option, use ground turkey or chicken instead of beef. Customize the filling with more veggies or different seasonings.
