Healthier Taco Tuesday!
When you're looking for a quick dinner recipe that the entire family will enjoy, look no further than these easy taco stuffed bell peppers. Made with only five ingredients yet you can take them to the next level with toppings such as sour cream, salsa, diced onions, jalapeños, sliced olives, avocado or guacamole.
My son Harmon loves taco Tuesday but the rest of us want a little variety which is why I started coming up with variations of the taco! I used a mixture of ingredients from Costco and Trader Joe's in the photos.

Notes
Make the full recipe and save a few servings for lunch or dinner; easy meal prep! While I do try to use glass for as much as possible, I do sometimes use the meal prepsters containers when I'm afraid I won't get my glass ones back.
