Ingredients

  • 4 medium bell peppers halved lengthwise and seeded
  • avocado oil cooking spray
  • 2 Tbsps homemade taco seasoning mix divided
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil or avocado oil
  • 1 lb lean ground beef bison, or turkey
  • 1 x 14.5 oz can black beans rinsed and drained

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375 degrees f. and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Lay your bell pepper halves, cut side up on the prepared sheet pan as shown.
  • Spray with avocado oil spray and sprinkle with half of the taco seasoning.
  • Bake for 15 minutes, or until tender-crisp.
  • Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Add in the ground meat and cook, mincing it with a wooden spoon.
  • Once the meat is no longer pink, drain grease if needed, then sprinkle in the remaining taco seasoning, and stir in your black beans, and salsa.
  • Simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally for 5 minutes, or until most of
  • the liquid is absorbed.
  • To assemble your roasted pepper tacos, divide the taco meat mixture among
  • your pepper 'shells'.
  • If you’re adding cheese, you can sprinkle cheese on top then broil in your oven for a few minutes to make them all melty and extra good.
  • Add toppings of choice and serve immediately.
  • Enjoy!
