Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the Filling

    In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Drain excess fat.

  2. 2

    Add chopped onion and bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Stir in the cooked rice, diced tomatoes, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until heated through.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Rellenos

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

  5. 5

    Stuff the mixture into halved bell peppers, zucchini boats, or tortillas.

  6. 6

    Place the stuffed items in a baking dish, sprinkle shredded cheese on top, and cover with foil.

  7. 7

    Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
