As I've said before I can eat tacos, nachos, taquitos, burritos...... etc every single night of the week if I could. However, I know that those things aren't always the healthiest choices. If you're looking for a healthy nacho recipe, look no further. These are loaded with veggies, and you won't even miss the chips (and if you do, I have a hack for that at the end of the recipe).
Bell Pepper Nachos
Ingredients
- Olive oil cooking spray
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 8 oz (½lb) lean, ground turkey
- 1 ½ cup cauliflower rice
- ½ cup black beans
- 3 tsp taco seasoning blend
- ¼ cup water
- 2 medium bell peppers (orange and yellow are our favorites), sliced into one-inch wide slices.
- ½ cup salsa
- ¼ cup cheddar
- 4 tbsp greek yogurt, divided (optional)
- 2 tbsp cilantro, chopped & divided (optional)
- Slice bell peppers into one-inch wide slices and arrange them on a plate. These will be your "chips".
- Heat large skillet over medium-high heat. Spray evenly with cooking spray.
- Add ground turkey and onion and cook through, until meat is browned.
- Add in cauliflower rice and black beans, stir to combine
- Season with taco seasoning and stir until well seasoned.
- Add taco seasoning blend and water. Mix well; cook, stirring frequently, until water evaporates.
- Make sure everything is heated through
- Transfer meat, cauliflower rice, and beans to the top of your bell pepper "chips".
- Divide salsa, cheddar, greek yogurt, and cilantro and top each nacho dish.
- Enjoy!
We love this meal, it's a great and healthy alternative to super cheesy nachos. IF you can't live without the crunch of chips. Cut two six inch corn tortillas into triangles, spray with olive oil cooking spray, and bake in a 425°F oven for 7-10 minutes (flipping at 5 minutes in). These chips are a little more friendly than the ones you'll find in the store.
