Instruction

  • Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees F. Choose your protein option(s) from the above list and cook via preferred method.
  • Slice each bell pepper in half. Hollow out each pepper, removing stem, seeds, etc...
  • Lay peppers on a baking sheet and cook for 8-10 minutes until al-tente or for 10-15 minutes for softer peppers.
  • Fill each pepper to the brim with your taco filling of choice (see above for tasty options; I made mine t-rex this time around) and top with cheese.
  • Bake for an additional 10 minutes, then pile mile-high with all your favorite taco toppings! Anything goes on taco night!
