Stuffed Taco Peppers

 
Jump to Recipe

Funny story, this recipe was inspired by my trip to Taco Bell. I know what you are thinking…Taco Bell? Yes, Taco Bell. Did you know Taco Bell has tons of vegan options?! You have the option to sub meat with beans. So delicious!

I decided for this recipe I wanted to put a spin on the traditional taco and stuff all the typical taco ingredients in a pepper! By cooking the pepper, the pepper becomes juicy and delicious and balances out the spicy black beans. This recipe is customizable and can be adapted to fit any taco preferences. I hope you enjoy!
