Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 375°F. Halve peppers lengthwise through the stem and remove seeds. Place cut-side up in a baking dish.

  2. 2

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook 3–4 minutes. Add garlic, cook 1 minute. Add ground beef, breaking into crumbles, cooking 7–8 minutes until browned with no pink remaining.

  3. 3

    Add cumin, chili powder, and smoked paprika. Stir to coat, cooking 1 minute. Add diced tomatoes and green chiles. Simmer 5–7 minutes until most liquid evaporates and the mixture is thick and meaty. Season with salt and pepper.

  4. 4

    Fill each pepper half with the beef mixture. Top with shredded cheddar. Bake at 375°F for 20–25 minutes until the peppers are tender and the cheese is melted and golden. Serve with sour cream, avocado, and cilantro.
