Ingredients

  • 1 lb Sweet mini bell peppers
  • 6 oz Cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup Shredded, mozzarella or pepper jack cheese
  • 1/2 tsp Sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp Cumin
  • 1/2 tsp Chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp Onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic powder

Avocado Dipping Sauce

  • 1/3 cup Loosely packed cilantro
  • 1/2 Medium avocado
  •  1/4 cup Sour cream
  •  1/4 tsp Sea salt, to taste
  •   Squeeze of lime juice from one lime, to taste

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 350° F and lightly grease a rimmed baking sheet, set aside.
  2. Cut the peppers in half top to bottom and remove the seeds and ribs. Place them (cut side up) on the baking sheet.
  3. In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese, shredded cheese, salt, cumin, chili powder, onion and garlic powder until fully combined.
  4. Divide the cheese mixture evenly between the peppers.
  5. Place the peppers in the oven on the center rack and bake until the cheese has melted and the peppers have softened. About 20 minutes.
  6. Meanwhile make the avocado dipping sauce by blending all ingredients together in a food processor (a mini one works the best).
  7. Serve the stuffed pepper warm served with the avocado sauce alongside or drizzled on top.
