Ingredients

  • 1 bag sweet mini bell peppers

    halved lengthwise, seeded, 1 pound

  • 6 ounces cream cheese

    softened

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella or pepper jack cheese
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon onion powder
  • ⅓ cup loosely packed fresh cilantro leaves
  • ½ medium avocado
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
    plus more to taste
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

    from 1 lime

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350°F with a rack in the center position. Line a rimmed sheet pan with parchment paper or foil.

  2. 2

    Place the peppers cut side up on the prepared baking sheet.

  3. 3

    In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese, shredded cheese, salt, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, and onion powder.

  4. 4

    Scoop the cheese mixture into the peppers, dividing evenly.

  5. 5

    Bake in the oven until the cheese has melted and is beginning to brown, and the peppers have softened, about 20 minutes.

  6. 6

    Meanwhile, make the avocado dipping sauce. Add the cilantro, avocado, sour cream, salt and lime juice to a food processor and blend until smooth, 1-2 minutes. Taste and season with more salt if necessary.

  7. 7

    Transfer the peppers to a plate. Serve the stuffed peppers warm with the avocado sauce drizzled on top or alongside for dipping.
