Process

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

If you are using rice, cook the rice and have it ready. Or, if you are like us, just use the organic jasmine rice from Trader Joe's it is ready in 3 minutes in the microwave.
Heat a large pan over medium heat.
Add in the ground beef and onion to the pan to brown.
Mix up the taco seasoning (garlic powder, chili powder, paprika, cumin, onion powder, cayenne, black pepper, salt and oregano) and get your peppers ready while the beef is cooking.
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
Once the beef is browned, add the taco seasoning and green chilies. Mix well.
Add in the rice and mix everything together one last time.
Place the bell peppers on a baking sheet. Fill them up with the beef mixture.
Place in the oven to bake for 15-20 minutes, until the pepper is cooked to your liking. We like the peppers with a little crunch, so 15 minutes was just right.
Serve your peppers with optional toppings of salsa, tomatoes, olives, avocado, cilantro, etc.
