Mexican Beef & Pepper Bowls
Ground beef is a product that I shied away from for a very long time while cooking. I tend to gravitate toward a leaner meat like ground chicken. However, there are times when I crave red meat and this is a delicious recipe to make when you’re in a rush.
The recipe calls for frozen peppers, but you can also use fresh peppers. I find that frozen peppers are a lot cheaper but also a lot more convenient to keep stocked in my freezer. I usually get the organic version from Whole Foods, but most grocery stores have them in their freezer section.
The spices used in this are my typical Mexican dish spices. I sometimes add variation, but this is a tried and true mixture. You can also use any pre-mixed taco seasoning that you have on hand. If you are looking for more spice, add in red chili flakes or a spicy salsa when serving.
Enjoy!
