Air Fryer Taco Stuffed Peppers (Low Carb)

Air Fryer Taco Stuffed Peppers- these low carb peppers are stuffed with seasoned ground beef, Rotel tomatoes, and Pepper Jack cheese. They only take 15 minutes to cook in the air fryer. So quick and easy!

Typically stuffed peppers are stuffed with a mixture of ground beef and rice, but leave the rice out and they still have all the flavor, but fewer carbs. These taco stuffed pepper taste like tacos without the taco shell. So tasty!

The Air Fryer is one of my favorite small kitchen appliances, if not my favorite. It cooks food so much faster than an oven. Stuffed Peppers take about 45 minutes to cook in the oven, but only 15 minutes in the air fryer. Perfect for a weeknight meal!

Tips for Making Air Fryer Taco Stuffed Peppers:

• Use red, orange, or yellow peppers instead of green if you wish.
• The ground beef needs to be browned in a skillet before the peppers are air fried, but the filling can easily be made a day in advance and then these peppers can easily be made in under 20 minutes. You can even go ahead and stuff the peppers in advance and refrigerate them until you are ready to air fry them.
• These stuffed peppers have a little spice from the Pepper Jack cheese. Make them spicier by using HOT Rotel tomatoes.

I use the Power XL Air Fryer and love it. The Ninja Air Fryer is another good one.
