Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the bell peppers in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes. Arrange them cut-side up in a 9x13 inch baking dish. Pour about 1/4 cup of water into the bottom of the dish to help steam the peppers.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for 4-5 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Add the ground beef to the skillet. Use a spoon to break it apart and cook for 5-7 minutes until fully browned. Drain any excess grease from the pan.
Stir in the chili powder, cumin, paprika, oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1 minute to toast the spices. Then, add the tomato sauce, cooked rice, and drained black beans. Stir everything together and bring to a simmer for 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Remove from heat.
Carefully spoon the taco filling evenly into each of the eight bell pepper halves, mounding it slightly on top.
Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, remove the foil and sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the peppers.
Return the dish to the oven and bake uncovered for another 10-15 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Let them rest for 5 minutes before garnishing with fresh cilantro and serving.
