• 20 chilies (siling pansigang/siling haba)

• ½ kilo ground beef
• 1 40 grams pack taco seasoning mix
• 1 medium onions
• 3 cloves garlic
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil – for sautéing
• 3 cups vegetable oil – for frying
• cheddar cheese – cut into strips
• salt and pepper – for desired taste

Cooking Instructions:

1. Heat oil in pan – Saute onion and garlic.
2. Add ground beef and taco seasoning. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
3. Cook for 10 to 15 minutes. Set aside.
4. Wash the chilis. Cut them length wise – creating a slit from the cap of the chili and near the tip. Remove the insides of the chili (the seeds etc). It looks quite presentable if you don’t cut the stalk.
5. Stuff each chili with your cooked ground beef and a strip of cheese. Wrap stuffed chilis with lumpia wraps as you would a spring roll or shanghai roll.
