These delicious stuffed peppers are vegetarian, and packed full of flavor with only four ingredients!

Ingredients

  • 2 large red bell peppers
  • 2 cups plant-based chorizo
  • 1 cup white rice
  • 1.5 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  1. Start by cooking rice according to package.
  2. While the rice is cooking, slice bell peppers in half, top to bottom. Dispose of any seeds that are inside.
  3. Next, bring a medium pot of water to a boil and place all pepper halves into the water. Boil for 5-8 minutes until the peppers have become soft.
  4. While those are cooking, place chorizo in a skillet on medium heat and cook for 5 minutes, or until cooked through. Add rice to the skillet with chorizo and mix together well. Add 1/2 cup of mozzarella and mix in well.
  5. Place pepper halves on a non-greased pan, and fill evenly with the mixture.
  6. Sprinkle the rest of the mozzarella cheese evenly on top.
  7. Turn oven to broil on high, and place pan back in and broil on high for 1-2 minutes, until cheese on top is bubbly.
  8. Enjoy!

Notes

If you would like this to be a low carb meal, substitute the white rice for cauliflower rice. I recommend Green Giant brand.
