Ole!

I am signed for a ton of daily recipe emails from a variety of different sites. Most of the time they are too high in calories and fat or they can't be easily made healthy, but sometimes I get a gem which only needs a few tweaks to make it delicious and Nutrisystem friendly. I had this for lunch today and really enjoyed this variation on traditional stuffed peppers. The inspiration came from Life Made Delicious.


Mexican Stuffed Peppers:



Black Beans & Rice (Lunch):

1 pkg Nutrisystem Black Beans & Rice
1 large bell pepper (any colour), cut in half and cleaned out
1/2 tomato, chopped
green onions, chopped
1/2 clove garlic, chopped
1 oz shredded cheese

Prepare entree as directed on the package. Be careful not to use too much water as this meal gets soupy in a hurry and then it's tough to get it out without turning everything to mush. Mix together the entree, vegetables, and garlic, and put the rice mixture inside the bell pepper halves. Bake for 15 minutes at 400 degrees. Remove and add the cheese on top, and place back in the oven until cheese is melted. Enjoy with a little sour cream or salsa if desired!
