I've been trying to find healthier recipes without sacrificing taste or lifestyle; when my family hears "healthy," they automatically think boring and "ew". I thought these peppers were good because they don't have a carb like rice, but they are so good, especially with the cilantro-lime sauce. It was a huge hit!

Steps

40 mins

1

Preheat oven to 350.
2

Cut four of the peppers in half and scrape out the seeds. Dice half of the remaining pepper and set aside.
3

Put the ground beef and diced peppers into a skillet.
4

Cook the ground beef and diced peppers on medium to high heat. Should be about 7 minutes.
5

Drain the beef.
6

Add taco seasoning package and 3/4 cup of water. Stir.
7

Fill each pepper with the beef/diced pepper combo. (I used the back of a spoon to pack it in so it would stay together more easily).
8

Bake peppers on 350 for 15 minutes.
9

While peppers are in the oven, make the cilantro-lime sauce.
10

Mix together the sour cream, cilantro, garlic and juice from one lime. I didn't have a food processor, so I finely chopped the cilantro and garlic. If you have a processor, you can put everything in and mix it that way.
11

Take peppers out of the oven, put shredded cheese on top, then put back in the oven for 2-3 minutes, until cheese is melted.
12

You can put the cilantro-lime sauce on top or on the side. I put it on the side for dipping.
13

Serve!
