    I don't know about you, but bright colors just make me happy. So, when I hit the produce aisle and see all of the fresh bell peppers in their gorgeous reds, yellows, oranges, and green, I am always inspired to make something with them.
     
    Weird?
     
    Meh, I don't know, but it is true.
     
    The Mr. loves stuffed peppers. My Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Peppers are one of his faves.
     
    So, with that knowledge in hand, Cinco de Mayo around the corner, AND falling on Taco Tuesday, I decided a taco stuffed pepper was the way to go!
     
    Oven roasting is my favorite way to cook most veggies, especially peppers. It just adds a sweetness that other cooking options don't. 
     
    My second favorite thing is stuffing peppers with something, anything!
     
    Jalapenos, poblanos, bells, you name it, stuffed roasted peppers are deeeeeelicious and versatile.
     
    Plus they are a great way to get food into your face and stay low carb.
     
    And admit it, that is the most important thing, right?
