Ingredients


454 gm Red bell pepper (mini bell peppers; any color; halved & seeded)
1 tbsp Chili powder
1 tsp Cumin
1 tsp Garlic powder
1 tsp Paprika
1/2 tsp Kosher salt
1/2 tsp Black pepper
1/2 tsp Oregano, dried
1/4 tsp Red pepper flakes (to taste)
454 gm Ground turkey, extra lean (use black beans if vegetarian)
1/2 cup chopped Tomato (Topping)
1/4 cup Black olives (topping; pitted & sliced)
1/4 cup slices Jalapeno peppers, sliced, canned (optional topping)
1 cup cubes Avocado (optional topping)

Instructions


  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C) and line a large baking tray with parchment paper. Arrange mini peppers in a single layer, cut-side up but very close together. Set aside.
  2. In a small bowl, combine chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, paprika, salt, pepper, oregano, and red pepper flakes.
  3. In a large skillet over medium heat, brown ground beef until cooked through, about 7 to 10 minutes, breaking up any clumps. Add spice mixture and sauté until well combined. Remove from heat.
  4. Evenly sprinkle peppers with ground beef mixture. Bake for 5 to 10 minutes.
  5. Remove from the oven and top with chopped tomatoes and any other desired toppings. Serve immediately.

Notes:

You can easily bake this in the air fryer—one of my favorite, delicious recipes. Add whatever toppings you'd like.
