- Spoon the filling into each pepper half, as much as you can get in there.
- Sprinkle the cheese over each pepper.
- Slide the pan back into the oven and bake for 20 minutes.
- If the cheese isnt as bubbly as you like, flip it back to broil for 2 more minutes at the end of the cook time.
- Serve garnished with cilantro and a good squeeze of lime juice!
- * My salsa had some heat in it, but if you want more heat, add a pinch of cayenne to the mixture.
- * Save the leftover filling for quick lunch tacos throughout the week!
