For a vegetarian option, substitute the ground beef with lentils or crumbled tofu. Feel free to experiment with different cheeses! Goat cheese or a sharp cheddar would also be delicious. If you don't have fresh cilantro, dried cilantro can be used, but use half the amount. To save time, cook the millet ahead of time. For a smoky flavor, roast the bell peppers over an open flame or under the broiler before stuffing.
