Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil; cook peppers until just soft, 6 to 7 minutes. Drain and transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat; add chicken and 1 1/2 teaspoon taco seasoning mix. Cook and stir until chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 8 minutes. Chop or shred chicken and transfer to a bowl.
- Cook and stir onion and garlic in the same skillet over medium heat until tender, 5 to 10 minutes.
- Mix onion mixture, black beans, tomato sauce, and cauliflower rice into the bowl of chicken. Stir in 1 1/2 tablespoons taco seasoning. Fill the bell pepper halves with the chicken mixture.
- Bake in the preheated oven until heated through, 10 to 15 minutes. Top chicken mixture with Cheddar cheese and continue baking until cheese is melted, about 5 minutes more.
- Mix Greek yogurt, cilantro, lime juice, and 1/2 teaspoon taco seasoning together in a bowl; serve over stuffed peppers.

Steps:
- Combine beef, onion, seasoning mix and egg in a large bowl.
- Add rice and mix well.
- Cut peppers in half lengthwise; remove seeds and membrane.
- Spread tomatoes on the bottom of an ovenproof 12 X 9 inch baking dish. The liquid from the tomatoes will reduce during cooking so if (like me) you like lots of sauce, add about a cup of water. This also helps make the peppers softer.
- Place peppers, cut side up, on top of the tomatoes.
- Spoon beef mixture into peppers, mounding as necessary.
- Top each pepper with salsa.
- Bake in preheated 375°F oven for 40-45 minutes or until beef is cooked thoroughly and peppers are soft.
- Cover each pepper with cheese and return to oven, under the broiler, until the cheese melts- less than a minute, so watch carefully!
- Serve with sour cream and additional salsa.

Tips:
- Choose the right bell peppers: Look for large, firm bell peppers with smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid peppers that are cracked or bruised, as these may not cook evenly.
- Prepare the bell peppers properly: Cut the bell peppers in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and ribs. Rinse the peppers well and pat them dry.
- Use a variety of fillings: You can use any type of filling you like for your stuffed bell peppers. Some popular options include ground beef, turkey, chicken, rice, beans, vegetables, and cheese.
- Season the filling well: Don't be afraid to add plenty of herbs and spices to your filling. This will help to give the dish flavor.
- Cook the bell peppers until they are tender: The cooking time will vary depending on the type of filling you are using. However, as a general rule, you should cook the bell peppers until they are tender and the filling is cooked through.
- Serve the bell peppers hot or cold: Stuffed bell peppers can be served hot or cold. If you are serving them hot, you can top them with a dollop of sour cream or salsa. If you are serving them cold, you can chill them in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Conclusion:
Stuffed bell peppers are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are also a great way to use up leftover ingredients. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give stuffed bell peppers a try.
