Description

Spicy rice stuffed inside a bell pepper, loaded with creamy, melty cheese goodness.

Ingredients

  • 4 whole Red Bell Peppers, Or Whatever Color You Have
  • 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
  • ½ whole Onion, Diced
  • 2 cloves Garlic, Minced
  • 1 pound Ground Turkey
  • Salt And Pepper, to taste
  • 1 can (15 Oz. Size) Diced Tomatoes
  • 2 whole Chipotle Peppers In Adobo Sauce, Diced
  • 1-½ cup Minute White Rice
  • 1 cup Chicken Broth, Or As Needed
  • ½ cups Chopped Cilantro, Plus More For Garnish
  • Ground Cumin, to taste
  • Chili Powder, to taste
  • Monterey Cheese, For Topping
  • Sour Cream, For Topping

Preparation

Preheat oven to 375ºF.

Cut the tops of the peppers off and remove the insides. Set aside.

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Saute the onions and garlic for 3 minutes. Add the ground turkey and mix to break it up and combine. Let cook over medium heat until done. Season with salt and pepper. Drain grease.

Cook tomatoes and chipotle pepeprs in a large pan. Let come to a simmer. Add in the rice. Begin to pour in the chicken broth, starting with about 1/2 cup. Cover with a lid and remove from heat. Let stand for 5 minutes, or until rice has soaked up the liquid. You may need to add more broth. Add cilantro. Stir to combine.

Add the rice mixture to the meat and season with cumin and chili powder. Spoon mixture into the bell peppers. Top with Monterey cheese (or whatever cheese you have on hand ). Bake at 375ºF, until heated through. Turn the broiler on for the last minute or two to brown the cheese. Top with sour cream and cilantro.

These were delicious!! I used hamburger meat and pepper jack cheese and I loved all of the spices and flavors. Will definitely make this way again.
