Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Cut peppers in half, and remove seeds and membranes. Lightly coat with 1 tbsp avocado oil, place in a Pyrex dish and bake for about 25 minutes, until tender.
While peppers are baking, cook rice according to package directions.
In a large sauté pan or dutch oven, add ground beef. Cook until the majority of the pink is gone. Option to drain any excess fat. Remove the beef and set aside in a bowl.
Add 2 tbsp avocado oil and onion to the pan/dutch oven. Cook for 4-5 minutes, until golden. Add garlic, and cook for another 2 minutes.
Add back in the ground beef, cooked rice, salsa, black beans, lime juice, cilantro, taco seasoning, salt and pepper. Mix to combine well, and cook for another 3-4 minutes.
When peppers are finished baking, stuff with taco mixture, and top with cheese. Bake for another 5 minutes.
Serve with sour cream, cilantro, avocado, and any other toppings of your choice. Enjoy!
