Paleo Taco Stuffed Peppers

These Paleo taco stuffed peppers just transformed my Taco Tuesday night! My family LOVES Mexican food, we probably eat it once a week. I remember when my husband first moved here he was a Mexican food newbie, as if that’s even possible?!? Apparently, where he grew up there were very few Mexican restaurants, or so he says. Needless to say, I have transformed him into a Mexican food lover over the past 6 years.

Eating gluten and corn free is a challenge, especially when it comes to Mexican food. I have tried multiple versions of gluten, wheat, and corn-free tortillas and while they’re okay, they do sometimes miss the mark. I’ve also tried a few homemade tortilla recipes and they’ve actually turned out pretty good. This time I decided to forego the tortilla and add in a veggie. Because, let’s be honest, these peppers are far better for you than any tortilla.

I used Primal Palate’s Taco Seasoning with grass-fed beef and the result was amazing. One of the best taco seasonings I’ve tried. From there you literally make this your own. Choose whatever toppings you’d like to add. We added lettuce, avocado, jalapenos, and some salsa verde. The possibilities are endless here!
