Time 50m

Yield 3

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 medium red bell pepper
1 medium yellow bell pepper
1 medium orange bell pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 (12 ounce) package Impossible Burger
1 small onion, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 (1 ounce) envelope taco seasoning mix
1 (14.5 ounce) can fire-roasted diced tomatoes
1 ½ cups shredded Mexican blend cheese, divided
¼ cup minced fresh cilantro
¾ cup sour cream
¾ cup prepared guacamole

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Cut bell peppers in half vertically through the stem and remove the seeds. Place cut-sides down in a baking dish to allow excess moisture to drain.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven, flip peppers over, cut-sides up, and set aside.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook meatless ground beef and onion in the hot pan, breaking up any large pieces, until browned, 5 to 6 minutes. Add garlic and stir until cooked through, about 2 minutes more. Sprinkle with taco seasoning and stir in diced tomatoes until combined. Stir in 3/4 cup Mexican cheese.
  • Stuff peppers with mixture and cover dish with foil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until peppers are tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove foil and top peppers with remaining cheese. Return to the oven and bake until cheese is melted, 2 to 3 minutes. Sprinkle with cilantro and serve each pepper with a dollop of sour cream and guacamole.

1 can yellow corn, drained and rinsed
1 jar salsa

  • Move the onions away from the center of the pan to create an open surface in the skillet. Place the ground turkey in the center of the pan and break up the meat.
  • Move the meat and onions to the sides of the pan to create an open surface again. Pour in the black beans, corn, and salsa and stir the mixture until evenly combined.
  • Spoon the mixture evenly into the hallowed bell peppers and replace the bell pepper tops.
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes, until the bell peppers have softened and wilted slightly.
