Ingredients

•1 bag of 20 mixed sweet mini peppers or a couple big bell peppers (yellow, orange, red)

•1 tablespoon olive oil

•1 large onion, diced

•1 jalapeño pepper, chopped to add taste

•1 1-ounce bag taco mix (If you want to make it extra healthy skip this)

•1 16-ounce can refried beans

•1 cup shredded mixed taco cheese

•Red pepper flakes (optional)

•Parmesan cheese (optional)

Directions:

►Preheat the broiler. Line a baking sheet with tin foil.

►Cut each pepper in half the long way. Remove seeds and stem, and place pepper halves on the lined baking sheet and set aside.

►Heat oil in a medium skillet. When hot, add onion and jalapeño pepper. Sauté until onion is golden brown, about 3 minutes. Set aside to cool.

►Use a small bowl to mix the taco mix in with the refried beans. Using a spatula or a spoon, fill each pepper halfway with some of the refried beans. (trick: pour the refried beans into a gallon size zip lock baggy and make a small cut in the corner of the bag (like a pastry bag) so you can squeeze the beans directly onto the peppers.)

►Using your hands, sprinkle the onion and jalapeño mix on top of each filled pepper half.

►Sprinkle the cheese evenly over the peppers.

►Place the baking sheet in the oven about 8 inches away from the broiler and broil until the cheese is melted and golden, 2-3 minutes.

Enjoy!
