large bell peppers
1lb extra lean ground beef or ground turkey breast
1/2 cup salsa + 1 can rotel tomatoes
1 cup cooked brown rice
1 onion chopped
1/2 tbsp chili powder
1 tbsp ground cumin
2 tbsp minced roasted garlic
1 - 2 avocados (to your liking)
Plain Greek yogurt
fat-free or reduced fat, grated cheese (optional)
Directions:
Heat oven to 350.
Cook rice as directed on pkg.
Brown ground beef (or turkey) and chopped onion in skillet. While cooking, cut the bell peppers in half and place on a cookie sheet and spray lightly with olive oil. Bake the peppers for 5-7 minutes. Add chili powder, cumin, garlic, salsa, tomatoes and rice to the browned meat and mix well. Spoon the mixture into the peppers, sprinkle cheese if desired and put back in oven. Cook another 5-10 minutes. Top with chunks of fresh avocado, a big fat dollop of plain greek yogurt and fresh ground pepper. Add a fresh green salad on the side and enjoy!!! I also use this meat mixture in wraps, on salad, on top of baked potatoes, or on top of grilled chicken.
