Gone are the days when I even crave “regular” taco shells… Since the first time I made my tacos with a bell pepper instead of a shell, I’ve fallen in love. Now with the 21 Day Fix, I know that it’s a great way to easily get in some extra green containers for dinner!
Ingredients for 21 Day Fix Tacos:
- Bell Pepper: Your choice of color. 1/2 for 1 Green Container or whole pepper for 2 Green Containers
- 1 Green Container (1 cup) of lettuce
- 1 Green Container (1 cup) of tomatoes
- 1 Red Container (3/4 cup) of ground turkey prepared for tacos (I prepare the taco meat according to directions on the seasoning packet and then take out a container full for myself)
Directions:
- Start to cook the pepper before you begin preparing the taco meat, it takes a while! I either grill mine or stick it in the oven with 1/2C of water in the bottom of the dish and cover with foil. Cook at 350 for 15 minutes or so.
- Fill your Red Container with taco meat and pour on top of your pepper.
- Fill Green Containers with lettuce, then tomatoes. Pour on top of your Taco Pepper.
- Enjoy!

Looking for more 21 Day Fix recipes and printables?
SO you just use a taco packet for our seasoning?
Yes! Just a boring packet of taco seasoning :)
How long did you cook the pepper
350 degrees for about 15 minutes :)
You mention in the recipe to put the pepper in water to bake. You put it directly in the water? Or do you raise the pepper to steam it? I love the idea of a pepper instead of a shell/tortilla. Like to save those precious yellows!
I place it in the water :)
Wouldn’t tomato be a purple?
Officially tomatoes are a fruit but the 21 day fix has them listed with the veggies so they are a green
Do you have any tips for meal prepping this? Especially as it relates to the peppers? Thank you
Hey Dori! I’d cook entirely before putting into meal prep containers. Another option is to use a fresh pepper (but prep and refrigerate the meat), and microwave it for a minute before adding your filling and toppings!
Would it make a change to the containers if we use lean ground beef instead of ground turkey?
The containers would be the same if you use lean ground beef vs ground turkey :)
