1
Preheat your oven to 350°F.
2
Arrange the halved bell peppers, cut side up, in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
3
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
4
Add the ground beef, minced serrano pepper, and finely chopped onion to the skillet.
5
Use a spoon to break up the beef as it cooks for about 1-2 minutes.
6
Stir in the minced garlic, taco seasoning mix, and salt, cooking until the meat is fully browned for around 8-10 minutes.
7
Remove the skillet from heat. Stir in the cold steamed white rice, beaten eggs, and 1/3 cup of the shredded Monterey Jack cheese.

Load up each bell pepper half with the beef mixture. Place them in the baking dish and pour 1/2 cup of water into the dish.
9
Cover the dish with foil and bake for 30-35 minutes or until the peppers are tender and the filling is heated through.

Remove the foil, sprinkle the remaining Monterey Jack cheese and crushed tortilla chips evenly over the peppers, then return to the oven to bake uncovered for an additional 5 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
11
Garnish the peppers with fresh chopped cilantro before serving.
