We usually make stuffed peppers with more of an Italian flavor; tomatoes, basil and oregano. We switched it up and made the same filling we used to make for tacos and stuffed that in our peppers instead. It was a huge success, and now I’m not sure Mr. Swiss Paleo will want his peppers stuffed any other way.

Ingredients

• 3 green bell peppers (to stuff), cut in half
• 600 grams (21 oz or just shy of 1.5 pounds) ground beef
• 1 onion, chopped
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 Tablespoons chili powder
• 1 jalapeno pepper, finely chopped
• 2 tomatoes, diced
• 1 Tablespoon coconut oil
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• Garnish with: avocado, fresh cilantro, fresh red onion chopped, and grated cheese and/or sour cream if you eat dairy

Instructions

1. Saute the chopped onion, minced garlic and chopped red bell pepper in the coconut oil over medium high until the onions are translucent.
2. Now add the chili powder and chopped jalapeno pepper and stir well.
3. Add in the ground beef and stir while cooking until browned.
4. Add the diced, fresh tomatoes and continue cooking until the tomatoes are soft and well cooked.
5. Place the halved green peppers into a baking dish and spoon the taco mixture into the pepper shells.
   

   Ready for the oven

6. Cover and bake at 180 C (350 F) for 45 minutes to an hour.
7. Remove from the oven and garnish with whatever you like (avocado, corriander/cilantro, fresh red onion, cheese, sour cream etc…)
