Preheat oven to 375°F. Then slice red bell peppers in halves, don’t remove theirs stems, so they keep their shape when baked.

Chop chicken into small pieces and set it aside. Then dice the onions and set them aside.

Season chicken with the Homemade Fajita Seasoning and remove from heat.

Turn peppers up, and divide the filling among them—top each pepper with some mozzarella cheese.

Return pan to oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes until peppers are fork-tender and mozzarella has melted.

Serve warm with some diced avocado, fresh lime juice, and chopped cilantro on top.
