Mexican-Style Stuffed Bell Peppers

Last night I was looking through our fridge to make something different than the usual pasta and meat sauce. I found Bell Peppers, and thought, why not stuff them!? Well we had some great ingredients that would work great for a mexican style bell pepper, and they ended up tasting absolutely delicious!

You'll need:
Bell Peppers (sliced in half, and seeds and stem removed)
Chicken Breast (cut into thick cubes)
Tortilla Chips
Shredded Cheese
Refried Beans
Salsa
Avocados
Lawrys Seasoned Salt
Garlic Powder
Olive Oil


What to Do:

Place bell peppers in glass baking dish and drizzle with olive oil and season with garlic powder
Put them in oven at 425 degrees for about 15-20 minutes (until they are slightly browned around sides)

While peppers are cooking in the oven, put chicken in a frying pan over medium-high heat with olive oil and seasoned salt and cook until lightly browned on each side (a few minutes on each side)

Peel 2 avocados and put them in a bowl with about 2 teaspoons of garlic powder, and mash them up.

When Peppers are nearly done in the oven, take them out and crush tortilla chips in the bottom of them. (I used about 1 1/2 Tostito's scoops per pepper)

Cover the Tortilla chips with a light layer of shredded cheese, and place back in oven until cheese has melted. (about 3 minutes)

Mix a Can of Refried beans and about 1/2 cup Salsa together in a bowl.
Layer in each ingredient into the bell peppers. I layered them in this order:
Bean/Salsa
Avocado Mix
Chicken on top

After they are all stuffed, plate them and you've got a delicious stuffed Bell pepper! This recipe went over great with my husband, and a perfect compliment to an ice cold beer.
