Ingredients
  

4 large bell peppers (any color)

1 lb ground chicken

1 cup cooked rice (white or brown)

1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed

1 cup corn (fresh, frozen, or canned)

1 cup salsa

1 tablespoon taco seasoning (store-bought or homemade)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (plus additional for topping)

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Lime wedges (for serving)

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    Prepare Bell Peppers: Slice the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes. Set aside.

      Cook Chicken: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground chicken. Season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart with a spatula.

        Combine Filling: Stir in the black beans, corn, cooked rice, salsa, taco seasoning, garlic powder, and onion powder into the skillet. Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until heated through. Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup of cheddar cheese until melted and well combined.

          Stuff the Peppers: Spoon the chicken taco mixture into each bell pepper, packing it tightly. Place the stuffed peppers in a baking dish.

            Bake: Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove the foil, sprinkle additional cheese on top of each pepper, and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.

              Serve: Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side.
