Keto Taco Stuffed Mini Peppers-
Keto Taco Stuffed Mini Peppers are low carb, gluten-free, grain-free with a paleo option.
Mini bell peppers stuffed with taco seasoned ground beef and topped with optional cheese, olives, sour cream, or paleo sour cream.
Keto Taco Stuffed Mini Peppers are a low-carb, bite-sized, taco flavored snack or appetizer with just a slight amount of heat from the mini bell peppers.
These are fairly easy to stuff with taco seasoned ground beef and bake for game day snacking or any time you crave tacos.
Even my son, who is opposed to most vegetables, like these satisfying tasty taco snacks.
He is also the reason I didn't put chopped avocado these! I will never understand how can he dislike avocado.
