Preheat oven to 375º. Spray a baking dish with cooking spray.
Brown hamburger and sausage in a medium skillet. Remove to a plate.
Place cauliflower in a food processor and process until it is the size of rice. Freeze any leftovers.
Place olive oil in the skillet used to brown the meat. Heat to medium heat and add onions, cooking until soft, about 2 minutes. Add taco seasoning and chopped Pablono pepper and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Add riced cauliflower and cook for 2 minutes, or until it begins to soften but not long enough so that it gets mushy. Remove from heat. Add meat and let it cool slightly, then add ½ of the cheese mixture.
Remove the caps of the peppers and if needed slice off a small amount from the bottom so that they sit evenly. Use a large ice cream scoop and add filling to the peppers. Place in the prepared pan and bake fro 30 minutes. Remove from oven and top with cheese. Bake an additional 10 minutes until cheese is melted.
