I made this recipe today, but instead of a bell pepper I chopped one Anaheim and one Poblano pepper. Added some red pepper flakes for a little kick. I thought the peppers I used seemed more Mexican. Husband likes it and I will make it again!
What type of green pepper do you use in this recipe!!
Green bell peppers :)
