Making Taco Stuffed Peppers involves a few simple steps that are easy to follow. Here’s how to create this delightful dish:

1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Peppers: Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes. Lightly season the insides with salt and pepper.
3. Cook the Meat: In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef (or turkey) until fully cooked. Drain the excess fat if necessary.
4. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the cooked meat, cooked rice, black beans, corn, taco seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and salsa. Mix well until everything is evenly coated.
5. Stuff the Peppers: Spoon the mixture into each bell pepper until they are filled generously.
6. Add Cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top of each stuffed pepper.
7. Bake: Place the stuffed peppers in a baking dish and cover with aluminum foil. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes. Remove the foil in the last 5-10 minutes to allow the cheese to melt and brown.
8. Cool Before Serving: Once cooked, remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes.
9. Garnish and Serve: Top with fresh cilantro and serve with sour cream and avocado, if desired.

These simple steps will help you create mouthwatering Taco Stuffed Peppers that everyone will love.
