BEEF ENCHILADA STUFFED PEPPERS

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef to the skillet and brown until almost cooked through. Add the onion and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the beef is fully cooked and the onion has softened. Stir in the enchilada sauce and cook for another 30 seconds, or until the mixture begins to bubble. Set the mixture aside.
• Preheat your oven to 400 F degrees.
• Slice the tops of the bell peppers about 1/2 and inch down, or enough to keep the tops fully intact. Set the tops aside. Use your hands to remove the seeds from each pepper.
• Fill each pepper about 1/3 of the way with the meat mixture, a healthy layer of cheese, another layer of meat mixture to the top of the pepper, then a final layer of cheese. Place the tops back on each pepper.
• Place the peppers in a casserole dish and bake for about 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the peppers begin to blister and darken.

• Place the chicken, taco seasoning mix, and water into a resealable plastic zipper bag, seal, and massage the bag with your fingers to mix. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to marinate.
• Cut the stem and top 1/2 inch from the top of each pepper, and carefully remove the seeds without cutting holes or breaking skin of the peppers. Bring a large pot of water to boil, and immerse the peppers in the boiling water for 3 minutes; cool immediately in a bowl of cold water. Drain the peppers and set aside.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a large saucepan over medium heat; cook and stir the onion until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic, oregano, cumin, and cinnamon; cook for 3 minutes. Stir in the flour and chili powder, and cook for about 1 minute. Whisk in the chicken broth, and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low, and stir in the chocolate until it melts and blends into the sauce. Allow the sauce to gently simmer, stirring occasionally.
• Drain the marinated chicken breasts, and place into a skillet over medium heat. Cook until the chicken is no longer pink inside, about 10 minutes; remove chicken to a bowl, and set aside to cool.

Stuff each pepper with 1/4 of the chicken mixture, and place on a baking sheet.
