Cheesy Tex-Mex Taco Stuffed Peppers

Arrange the peppers, cut-side down, in a 9-by-13-inch broiler-safe baking dish.

Broil until the peppers are lightly charred in spots and beginning to soften, 5 to 7 minutes.

Remove from oven; set aside until ready to use.

Reduce oven temperature to 400.

Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.

Add onion and carrots; cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 8 minutes.

Flip the pepper halves in the baking dish to face cut-side up.

Bake until the beef mixture starts to brown, about 15 minutes.

Remove from oven; sprinkle evenly with cheese.

Bake until the cheese has melted, about 5 minutes.

Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.

Garnish with cilantro, if desired.
