In a 3 qt. pot w/lid, boil 2-in. salted water, turn down to med. heat and cook peppers, bottom side down in water, 5-7 minutes, only until just beginning to turn soft and still bright green. Drain water and place in large cast iron skillet.

• 5. Serve with any type of garnish you like, such as sour cream, jalapeno peppers, grape tomatoes, avocado, red onion, cilantro, salsa, on and on and on-Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil; cook peppers until just soft, 6 to 7 minutes. Drain and transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
• Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat; add chicken and 1 1/2 teaspoon taco seasoning mix. Cook and stir until chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 8 minutes. Chop or shred chicken and transfer to a bowl.
• Cook and stir onion and garlic in the same skillet over medium heat until tender, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Mix onion mixture, black beans, tomato sauce, and cauliflower rice into the bowl of chicken. Stir in 1 1/2 tablespoons taco seasoning. Fill the bell pepper halves with the chicken mixture.
• Bake in the preheated oven until heated through, 10 to 15 minutes. Top chicken mixture with Cheddar cheese and continue baking until cheese is melted, about 5 minutes more.
• Mix Greek yogurt, cilantro, lime juice, and 1/2 teaspoon taco seasoning together in a bowl; serve over stuffed peppers.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add cauliflower rice and saute until heated through, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
• Heat oil in another skillet over medium-low heat. Saute onion and garlic in the hot oil until soft, about 5 minutes. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up into small pieces, 5 to 7 minutes.
• While the meat cooks, trim tops off bell peppers and hollow out. Use a knife to level off the bottoms of any bell peppers that don't stand mostly upright. Take care not to create a hole in the bottom (if it happens, just fill the pepper with loads of cheese before adding the meat mixture). You can also simply slice the peppers in half lengthwise, leaving the stem on.
• Stir cauliflower rice, tomatoes, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, tomato sauce, and parsley into the beef mixture and cook 2 to 3 minutes more. Season to your liking with salt and pepper.
• Divide filling evenly among bell peppers and nestle them in a baking pan or line on a sheet pan. Top with remaining Parmesan.
• Roast in the preheated oven until peppers are soft, 25 to 35 minutes.
