Mexican Beef-Stuffed Peppers image

I grew up eating stuffed peppers and thought my husband would immediately love them as well. He didn't at first, but then I created this slow-cooked recipe. Because he loves fajitas and tacos, I created these peppers with all his favorite flavors tucked inside. -Nicole Sullivan, Arvada, Colorado

These were easy to make and turned out great! I used ground turkey instead of beef and they were still very flavorful. I will definitely be making these again.
