Remove the seeds and membrane from the inside of the pepper and slice in half lengthwise.

Prepare taco meat: 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 water and taco seasoning 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, avocados, shredded cheese, cilantro and a spoonful of sour cream. Serve and enjoy!
