Mexican stuffed peppers are quite possibly the easiest meal EVER! 3 ingredients and one of them is chili from a fast food restaurant?? So yeah, it’s pretty easy. Not to mention its a lower carb recipe, so no guilt either. The chili contains beans which are a good source of fiber and helps to maintain good blood glucose control. These Mexican stuffed peppers could be served with a side salad or would be a great recipe to make for a snack or a party.

Step 1 : Get a bag of multicolored mini peppers, clean and cut in half. Step 2: Fill peppers with chili and sprinkle with cheese. Step 3: Bake until peppers are tender and chili is warm and bubbly. Step 4: Devour!
