Now that the weather is getting hotter here in Québec, I have been craving some Mexican foods... Tacos to be exact. I wanted to cook something similar to tacos without using tortillas. I found one way to do so and I was surprised to find out that I liked it better than tacos.

Mexican stuffed peppers

Ingredients :

• 450g Ground horse meat (you can also use beef ground meat)
• 2 Tomatoes (diced)
• 1 Yellowbell pepper (diced)
• 2 Long red sweet peppers (Carve triangle on one side)
  
• 1/2 Onion (diced)
  
• 200ml Tomato sauce
• Butter
• Olive oil
  
• Spices : Minced garlic, cumin, red peppercorn, chili spices, salt. parlsey and oregano

Cooking instruction :

1. Preheat oven to 375F. Place the Long peppers on a cooking tray and roast them until they look good to you. (should take around 20 minutes).
2. Meanwhile, melt butter in skillet over medium-high. Add olive oil. Add the onions. Add meat and cook until the meat become brown. Add the diced yellow bell pepper and the tomato sauce. Add the spices (minced garlic, cumin, peppercorn, chili spices, salt and oregano).
3. Fill the peppers with the meat. Garnish with some parsley.
4. Enjoy!

Also, feel free to make guacamole and garnish your taco with it. Make sure it is spicy and that the dominant taste of your meat is cumin. It will create a great combination of flavors.

Here is one example (my guacamole is a bit red colored because I used a lot of paprika and spicy peppers in it) :

How is that for summer food?
