Halloween Taco Stuffed Pepper “Pumpkins”

Cut off the top of each pepper, like you would a pumpkin. Remove the seeds and membrane from the inside of the pepper.

Using a non-toxic black or blue marker, stencil the cut out for the face of your pepper-pumpkin.

Carefully carve your “face” with a small, sharp, serrated knife.

Prepare taco meat for stuffing peppers: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Crumble ground beef into the hot skillet. Cook and stir until the beef is completely browned, 7 to 10 minutes. Drain and discard any excess grease.

Return ground beef to heat. Pour seasoning mixture and water over the beef; stir to combine. Bring to a simmer and cook until the moisture absorbs into the meat, about 5 minutes. Allow to cool 5-10 minutes prior to stuffing peppers.

Stuff peppers with cooked taco meat.

Top stuffed peppers with tomatoes, avocado, lettuce, and shredded cheese. Serve and enjoy!
