Ingredients:

Serving

1 lb ground beef
3/4 cup water
1 (1 oz) packet taco seasoning
2 tbsp vegetable oil
1 cup white rice
1 cup water
1 1/2 cups chunky salsa
1 small onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
3 large green bell peppers, tops and seeds removed
1 (8 oz) package shredded mexican cheese blend
1 (14.5 oz) package nacho cheese-flavored tortilla chips (such as doritos)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes; drain and discard grease. Stir 3/4 cup water and taco seasoning into ground beef; simmer until water has evaporated, about 5 minutes.
Heat vegetable oil in a separate skillet over medium heat; cook and stir rice in the hot oil until fragrant and golden brown, about 5 minutes. Add 1 cup water, salsa, onion, and garlic; bring to a boil. Lower heat, cover skillet, and simmer until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Stir ground beef mixture into rice mixture.
Spoon a layer of ground beef-rice mixture into each bell pepper; top with a layer of Mexican cheese and a layer of nacho cheese-flavored tortilla chips. Repeat layering ingredients into bell peppers, ending with a Mexican cheese layer. Arrange stuffed peppers in a 9x9-inch baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven until bell peppers are tender and cheese is lightly browned, about 30 minutes.
