Today we are re-sharing one of our favorite and most-recipes of all-time: Burrito Bowl Stuffed Peppers!
We love (and many of you do too!) this recipe so much, so we knew it was time for an updated recipe and pictures for this easy dinner recipe.
I’m pretty sure we have made these stuffed peppers over 10 times since we first posted the recipe back in June of 2014 and for a good reason. These peppers are not only delicious, but they are extremely easy and simple to make.
The inspiration for these stuffed peppers came from our favorite chain restaurant, chipotle. Who doesn’t love a good burrito bowl? #amirightoramiright.
So it’s basically like a burrito bowl stuffed into a pepper instead of tortilla which saves carbs but who’s complaining? It’s got all the goods of a burrito bowl.
One of the biggest reasons, besides taste, of why this burrito bowl is so popular is that it can be adapted to meet any diet. Wanna make it paleo/whole 30? Just leave out black beans and corn.
Wanna make it vegan? Just use a meat replacement such as tempeh or tofu! Don’t have any dietary restrictions? Than make the original recipe. No matter what your diet is, you can enjoy a healthy and delicious meal!
