Or if you want have a go for yourself now, here's a reminder of the ingredients and instructions.

You'll need (for 3 portions):

- 1 packet tortilla chips
- 5⅓ oz flour
- 3 beaten eggs
- 3 red peppers
- oil for frying
- 1 onion, diced
- 10½ oz, ground beef
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 garlic clove
- salt and pepper
- 6¾ fl oz salsa
- 2⅔ oz grated mozzarella
- 2⅔ oz grated cheddar
- 3 tbsp cheese salsa

Here's how:

1. Remove the tops and the cores of the peppers.

2. For the coating, crumble the chips. Prepare one bowl with the chip crumbs, one with flour and one with egg. Rotate the peppers first in the flour, then in the egg and finally in the chip crumbs. Repeat the process so that the peppers receive an even and thick coating of chips. Place them in a baking tray with the openings underneath and bake them in a convection oven for 15 minutes at 360°F.

3. Heat some oil and sauté the chopped onion in it. Add the ground beef and brown it. Finally, season it with pepper, cumin, chili powder, garlic, salt and pepper.

4. Fill the baked peppers with a little of the beef. Create more layers with salsa, a mix of mozzarella and cheddar cheese, ground beef, then salsa again and more cheese. Press each layer down a little to get more filling inside the peppers. Then bake them in a convection oven for 12 minutes at 360°F.

5. After baking, add a tablespoon of cheese salsa on top of the peppers.
