For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of smoked paprika to the taco seasoning mix. Feel free to substitute ground turkey or beef for the chicken, adjusting cooking times accordingly. If you prefer a spicier kick, incorporate a diced jalapeño pepper into the onion and garlic mixture. These stuffed peppers can be assembled ahead of time and baked just before serving, making them perfect for meal prepping. Garnish with a dollop of guacamole or a sprinkle of cotija cheese for a delightful finishing touch.
