Out of all the recipes that I’ve made thus far for my Whole30 January rest, I think that these Bell Pepper Tacos are my very most favorite! Oh wow – I practically inhaled the. Even my kids declared their love for it so you know that’s saying a lot when it comes to a ‘healthy’ recipe. This one is for sure going to be on my dinner table time & time again!

Not only are they delicious, but they are so super easy to whip up.

I like a tender bell pepper with this recipe, so I par-cook my peppers for about 15-20 minutes first. Once they’ve been stuffed with the taco filling, I’ll cook them for another 15 minutes. If you like your bell peppers on the raw-er side, then you can always leave out the pre-cook part.
