1 lb. ground beef
1 tsp. olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 package taco seasoning
1/2 tsp. oregano
1/4 tsp. ground cumin seed
1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes
1 cup canned black beans, drained
1 cup medium salsa
4 large green peppers
1 large tomato, chopped
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup sour cream

In a large skillet, sauté beef and onion in olive oil over medium heat until no longer pink; adding garlic during last few minutes; drain. Stir in taco seasoning, black beans and salsa. Heat on high for 1 minute; reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes.

Remove tops from peppers from; remove stems and seeds. Spoon beef mixture into each pepper to fill equally.

Place in a greased 13x9-inch baking dish. Cover and bake in a preheated 350°F oven for 20-30 minutes or until peppers are tender. Top with tomato and cheese ten minutes before baking is done.

Serve with sour cream, if desired.
