Start to cook the pepper before you begin preparing the taco meat, it takes a while! I either grill mine or stick it in the oven with 1/2C of water in the bottom of the dish and cover with foil. Cook at 350 for 15 minutes or so. Fill your Red Container with taco meat and pour on top of your pepper. Fill Green Containers with lettuce, then tomatoes. Pour on top of your Taco Pepper. Enjoy!
