Mexican Stuffed Peppers
Sweet bell peppers are stuffed with hearty beans and grains. These stuffed peppers are even better as leftovers because they absorb the delicious flavor of this dish, but still hold their shape after being cooled and reheated.

Cook time: 30 minutes
Serves: 4
Ingredients
- 1 Enchilada Starter Pack
