Instructions
- 1 Preheat the oven to 385 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- 2 Heat butter and oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Saute onion in the hot pan until soft, about 5 minutes. Add chicken; cook and stir until browned and no longer pink in the center, 7 to 10 minutes. Reduce heat to medium, and add water and chili powder. Stir in garlic, salt, cumin, and red pepper; let cook for 5 minutes. Add rice and black beans.
- 3 Transfer chicken mixture to a bowl. Pour most of the crushed tomatoes into a large baking pan so it is 1 inch deep. Stuff the chicken mixture into the bell pepper halves until slightly overfilled and place open-side up in the tomatoes. Pour remaining crushed tomatoes over the peppers so they are just covered. Sprinkle with Mexican cheese, and cover the pan.
- 4 Bake in the preheated oven until peppers are soft, about 50 minutes. Serve hot with avocado and sour cream to garnish.
