Ingredients

1 pound sweet mini peppers tops cut and cored
1/2 pound ground chicken
1 1/2 tablespoons taco seasoning
2 tablespoons water
3 ounces cream cheese softened
1/4 cup black beans
1/4 cup corn
1/4 cup pepper jack cheese
garnish: cilantro

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Place prepared peppers on a baking sheet; set aside.

Cook ground turkey in a medium sauce pan until no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Drain and place back in sauce pan. Add in taco seasoning and water, cook 2 more minutes.

Turn heat to low, mix in cream cheese until melted and blended together. Turn off heat.

Stir in black beans and corn.

Add a dollop of the meat mixture to each mini pepper. Once each pepper is filled, bake for 15 minutes. Sprinkle pepper jack cheese on top of each.

Bake an additional 3-5 minutes, or until cheese is melted.

Garnish with cilantro, serve & enjoy!
