Holiday Recipe: Mexican Stuffed Peppers

Posted by Healthy Bitch Daily on Dec 25, 2012
Holiday Recipe Week, Day 2: Mexican Stuffed Peppers


Christmas may be all about tamales, but we're hot and bothered over these stuffed peppers. 


Mix up the spices or add vegan chicken for a variation. Thanks to Gina from Gina's Vegan Veracity for the recipe!

What You Need

1 package of vegan crumbles (or any vegan meat substitute, crumbled)
2 cups corn (fresh, canned, or frozen)
2 cups cooked black beans
1 small chopped onion
2 tablespoons grape seed oil, divided
4 cups salsa, divided
1 cup corn meal
1 cup water
1 package vegan taco seasoning
1 cup mini pasta shells or orzo
8 green peppers (halved lengthwise with stems and seeds removed)
1 package vegan cheese shreds
1 container vegan sour cream
1 bunch chopped green onions

How to Make It

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Use half of the grape seed oil to grease a 13 by 9 inch baking pan. In a large pot, add the other half of the grape seed oil and onion. Cook until soft, about four minutes.

Add the vegan crumbles and cook until browned. Add corn, beans, shells, taco seasoning, water and half of the salsa. Bring to boil. Remove from heat and stir in corn meal.

Fill each pepper half with equal amounts of mixture. Cover and bake 1 hour and 15 minutes or until peppers are soft.
Remove from oven and top each pepper with salsa, sour cream, cheese and green onions .
