What You Need for Mexican Stuffed Peppers
Large bell peppers: The star of the show! And the vessel that you’ll stuff all this delicious filling into. Any color will work — we love using a few different colors for variety! A super flavorful filling (ground chicken and pork, salt, taco seasoning, corn, black beans, green chilis, salsa and cooked white rice): This hearty and flavorful filling for your bell peppers combines protein, grains, and veggies, seasoned with taco spices and your favorite salsa. Shredded cheese: Top your gorgeous Mexican stuffed peppers with shredded cheese. A Mexican-style blend is usually our go-to, but any variety will do.

Easy leftovers: These Mexican stuffed peppers are just as delish when reheated, and you can pack them up and take them to school or work for lunch. Great for freezing: This recipe serves 10-12, which means you can prepare the whole batch and freeze 1/2 of your stuffed peppers for a quick dinner when you don’t have anything to eat. A win win.
How to Freeze this Stuffed Peppers Recipe
Because these stuffed peppers are made with freezer-friendly ingredients like rice, beans, and meat, they make for a great freezer meal! Especially since they serve 10-12 — make half for the fam this week, save the other half in the freezer. Pro tip: If you’re hoping to enjoy these individually, we recommend wrapping each in aluminum foil before freezing so you can take one out of the freezer at a time. To reheat the peppers: preheat the oven to 350ºF and then place the peppers in a casserole dish and bake covered for 20-30 minutes. Feel free to add additional cheese when baking — speaking from experience 🤩🤩🤩
