Cheesy Chipotle Stuffed Peppers


I've eating a few recipes for stuffed peppers and just couldn't find the right one- some are so watery, some lack flavor, and some are stuffed with filler, unhealthy ingredients.

I always hear people going on and on about stuffed peppers so I was determined to make a winner that was popular in my house and for my followers to enjoy.

I decided to combine the pros from all the recipes I've tried up to this point, and of course, 
make sure its fix-approved. And the results turned out great- try it for yourself! 
The spice was just right and it brought a whole new meaning to our typical Taco Tuesdays. :)
