The stuffed red peppers not only look amazing but taste great as well. The guacamole, black beans, corn, rice and salsa that make up this medley are Mexican inspired. The red peppers give a tangy taste and the salsa feels like firecrackers going off in your mouth. ( in a good way). Why is it good for you? Red bell peppers contain lycopene which helps to protect against cancer and heart disease. They are also a good source of vitamin C, thiamine, vitamin B6, and folic acid.
