    Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until peppers are tender. Top individual servings with sour cream, cheese and tomato.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

    There are about 4 tablespoons of taco seasoning in one package - you can use the remaining 2 tablespoons to make this recipe at a later date. Or, use it to make a half recipe of tacos using the directions on the package.
