4 scallions, green tops only, thinly sliced
1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes, drained
1 ½ cups cooked white rice
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp smoked paprika
½ tsp ground cumin
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
½ cup chicken broth

For topping

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

For serving

2 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pepper halves and blanch for 3 minutes, until just slightly softened but still holding their shape. Transfer cut-side down to a paper-towel-lined surface to drain.
2
Heat the garlic-infused olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, for 6–8 minutes until browned throughout with no pink remaining and the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
