Vegetarian Deconstructed Peppers

Vegetarian Deconstructed Peppers

I took the traditional stuffed peppers and deconstructed it and gave it a twist with taco seasoning and made it vegetarian by using Beyond Meat® substitute. If desired you can go completely vegan by swapping out the cheese and sour cream for dairy-free substitutes.
