What Makes This Recipe So Good
Whole30 taco stuffed peppers satisfy those …monthly? …weekly? …daily? Mexican food cravings in the best possible ways – by being totally compliant and totally delicious. They’re full of those taco flavors you know and love thanks to the rich taco seasoning, the fresh & bright bell peppers, the creamy guac, and the seasoned diced tomatoes and green chilies. You’ll never miss the tortillas or cheese.It’s totally customizable! Add your favorite compliant taco toppings and skip whatever you don’t like. If you’re off-round or if it’s not a “food with no brakes”/”SWYPO” for you, a little of my vegan queso would be delicious here.The peppers reheat really well, so this is a great option for you meal-preppers. If you’re going to use guacamole, I’d store it separately or just make a quick guac fresh when you’re ready to eat the peppers. Other than that, just store the stuffed peppers in an airtight container in the fridge up to 5 days. Reheat in the oven or the microwave until warmed through!
Key Ingredients
Bell Peppers – I like to use a variety of bell peppers whenever I can because the colors are just so beautiful. Use whichever color(s) you prefer, though. If you’re watching your carb intake, green bell peppers are lower in carbs than yellow, orange, or red ones.Whole30 Taco Seasoning – Store-bought seasoning is totally fine in this recipe, but be sure you check the label! Seasoning blends can often have added sugars and other unnecessary, noncompliant ingredients. If you want to be positive you’re getting a great flavor and no unneeded ingredients, you can make your own Whole30 taco seasoning. I’ve got a great recipe here.
Chef’s Tips
For crunchier bell peppers, bake them for just 10 to 15 minutes instead of 15 to 20. This is really just preference and won’t cause any food-safety issues since the ground beef is already fully cooked when you put it in the peppers.If you want a boost of flavor, turn your frozen cauliflower rice into cilantro lime cauliflower rice. SO simple but super effective.I used ground beef in my Whole30 taco stuffed peppers to really achieve that taco taste and texture, but you can use ground bison, ground turkey, or ground chicken instead. My Mexican shredded chicken would be great, too!
