These stuffed peppers combine the best flavors of Mexican cuisine. The filling is made of chicken, onion, and a blend of Fajita Style seasoning topped with mozzarella cheese. Garnish with fresh cilantro, lime juice, and avocado and enjoy!
Preheat oven to 375°F. Then slice red bell peppers in halves, don’t remove theirs stems, so they keep their shape when baked.
Place red bell peppers with the empty side down and cook for 15 minutes or until it softens. In the meantime, prepare the filling.
Chop chicken into small pieces and set it aside. Then dice the onions and set them aside.
Add a tbsp of olive oil to a large skillet. Once heated, add chopped onion. Stir until the onion is golden and translucent. Next, add chicken and stir until the chicken is cooked.
Season chicken with the Homemade Fajita Seasoning and remove from heat.
Turn peppers up, and divide the filling among them—top each pepper with some mozzarella cheese.
Return pan to oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes until peppers are fork-tender and mozzarella has melted.
Serve warm with some diced avocado, fresh lime juice, and chopped cilantro on top.
