Taco Stuffed Peppers

I don’t know how many times our default weeknight dinner is something to do with tacos! And I was sitting there with some leftover taco meat (once again) and wondering what I should do with it. So I grabbed a random bell pepper I had sitting it the crisper and whipped this little meal up!  I was hooked!  Pro tip: if you have time to meal prep just make the taco meat ahead of time and this weeknight dinner will come together SO quickly!  This is going to be on our regular rotation for sure!
