Smoky Mexican Stuffed Bell Peppers

I’m pretty sure I could live off Mexican-themed food forever. I mean, anything that I can put cilantro and avocado on wins! If you’ve followed me on Instagram, you will see just how much I eat avocados and cilantro. One of my husband’s friends follows me on Insta and asked him what our avocado budget was! Anyway, these smoky mexican stuffed bell peppers are a perfect meal for anytime of the year. Enjoy these with a side of avocado or guacamole and a side salad for a complete low carb meal!

Things you’ll need:

OMGhee butter - this is my favorite ghee! It’s super creamy and delicious.

FlavorGod Seasonings - these are what I use pretty much to season every meal!

Chipotle Tomato Paste - I love the smokiness that the chipotle adds to this tomato paste, try it! Mine was a gift from one of my foodie pals, Jules. Find her on Instagram for some serious drool-worthy eats @julesfood.

12″ Cast Iron Skillet - this is my new favorite skillet to cook ALL the things in.

Santoku Knife - this is my go-to knife of choice when I’m slicing and dicing
