Servings: 4 Stuffed Peppers
Calories: 350kcal
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground Beef 93/7
- 4 large Bell Peppers
- 12 oz Cerveza*
- 2 60g Chipotle Peppers in Adobo + Sauce**
- 2 Tbsp 30g Lime Juice
- 5 cloves 30g Peeled Garlic
- 1-2 handfuls Cilantro
- 1 tsp Kosher Salt
- 1/2 tsp Ground Cumin
- 3 oz Shredded Pepper Jack Cheese
Instructions
- Add the cerveza, chipotle peppers, lime juice, garlic, cilantro, and salt to a food processor. Blend until smooth. (The beer will foam when you add the salt.)
- Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Once the beef is cooked, add the cerveza mixture and cook for 8-10 minutes until a spatula leaves a trail. Stir occasionally.
- Cut the tops off the peppers and remove any seeds. Fill the peppers with the beef and air fry for 12 minutes at 375ºF. Top with the cheese and air fry an additional 6-8 minutes at 375ºF.
Notes
*I used Modelo Especial. Any light beer would work. You could also swap the beer for chicken or beef broth.
**These stuffed peppers are on the milder side. If you wanted to increase the heat, you could double the chipotle peppers.
Nutrition Facts Notes
- Each stuffed pepper has 9 WW SmartPoints (blue).
- To reduce the fat and calorie content, you could use leaner ground beef (96/4), turkey, or chicken. You could also reduce the cheese.
