These Burrito Stuffed Peppers are Amazing for Clean Eating Food Prep!

 My great-grandmother used to make THE BEST stuffed peppers when I was a girl.

I can still taste them…they would take her hours and hours to make.

THIS version is a Tex-Mex spin on that traditional stuffed pepper, AND these only take about 35 minutes to prepare.

I’m excited for you to try this variation!
