Fajita Stuffed Peppers
Ingredients
Chicken
- 1 Lbs Chicken Tenderloins diced
- 2 Tbsp Olive Oil
- 2 Tbsp Lime Juice
- 1 Pack of Fajita Seasoning
Peppers
- 6 Large Bell Peppers solid base to stand
- 1 Tbsp Olive Oil
- Pinch of Sea Salt
Filling
- 7½ Oz Black Beans canned
- 2 Cups Cauliflower Rice cooked + seasoned
- 1 Cup Mexican Cheese Blend
- 4 Cloves Garlic minced
- 1 Tbsp Cilantro fresh + chopped
- 1 Tbsp Olive Oil
Instructions
- Whisk together fajita seasoning, olive oil, and lime juice in a large mixing bowl. Add in diced chicken and toss in sauce evenly. Sit aside to marinate for at least 20 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 400℉.
- Cut the tops off the peppers and remove both the seeds and white flesh. Brush the insides of the peppers with olive oil and season lightly with sea salt.
- Roast peppers for 20 minutes or until they begin to brown and soften.
- While the peppers are roasting, lets prepare the filling. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add 1 tbsp of olive oil. Add in chopped onion and cook for roughly 5 minutes stirring occasionally.
- Stir in garlic for 2-3 minutes then add in chicken and reduce heat to medium.
- Cook chicken for 5-7 minutes. Once cooked though, stir in cooked cauliflower and cilantro.
- After 2-3 minutes, add in black beans and stir occasionally for 3-4 minutes.
- Peppers should be done roasting now and remove filling from heat.
- Evenly distribute filling into peppers and top peppers with Mexican cheese.
- Place back into the oven for 10-15 minutes until cheese melts.
- Remove from oven, let cool, and enjoy!!
