Cantina Stuffed Capsicums 🌶️🧀

These bold, flavour-packed stuffed capsicums are loaded with a spiced mince filling, melty cheese, and a final drizzle of Kai’s Chilli Oil for the perfect kick.

Ingredients:

• 4 large capsicums (any color)
• 300g lean beef mince
• 1 small onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 can (400g) beans (black beans or kidney beans), drained
• 1 can (400g) corn, drained
• 1 cup cooked basmati rice
• 1 tbsp Kai’s Cantina Seasoning
• 1 tbsp Kai’s Chilli Oil, plus more for topping
• 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
• Sour cream, for serving

Method:

1. Prep the Capsicums – Slice off the tops and remove the seeds. Place them in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 15 minutes to soften.

2. Make the Filling – While the capsicums bake, cook the mince in a pan over medium heat until browned. Add onion and garlic, cooking until fragrant. Stir in beans, corn, cooked rice, Kai’s Cantina Seasoning, and Kai’s Chilli Oil. Mix well and let simmer for 5 minutes.

3. Stuff the Capsicums – Remove capsicums from the oven. Fill each one halfway with the mince mixture, add a layer of cheese, then fill to the top and add more cheese.

4. Bake Again – Return to the oven for 10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

5. Finish & Serve – Drizzle with Kai’s Chilli Oil and top with a dollop of sour cream. Enjoy!

🔥 Tip: Try adding chopped jalapeños or a squeeze of lime for an extra flavor boost!
