🇪🇸 En español: Pimientos Rellenos de Atun
These tuna stuffed red peppers make a great lunch or as part of your evening meal. Our grandchildren love to help stuff them.
We leave the tops with the stem on the peppers, just dividing them in two with a very sharp knife. This makes them much easier for the children to deal with on the plate.
