Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Place prepared peppers on a baking sheet; set aside.
Cook ground turkey in a medium sauce pan until no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Drain and place back in sauce pan. Add in taco seasoning and water, cook 2 more minutes.
Turn heat to low, mix in cream cheese until melted and blended together. Turn off heat.
Stir in black beans and corn.
Add a dollop of the meat mixture to each mini pepper. Once each pepper is filled, bake for 15 minutes. Sprinkle pepper jack cheese on top of each.
Bake an additional 3-5 minutes, or until cheese is melted.
Garnish with cilantro, serve & enjoy!
