Black Bean, Corn, Sweet Potato Stuffed Bell Peppers
Salsa + chips + guacamole complete me. I have an obsession with Southwestern food and flavors. I love the flavor profiles of these foods so much that nearly every dish I create uses cumin, jalapenos, cilantro, and involves a hefty amount of avocado. Definitely no apologies there. With minimal effort, you can be pulling piping hot…
