If you love nachos (let’s be honest, who doesn’t!?) then this lightened up, packed with protein nacho recipe, that is sure to satisfy allll your nacho cravings..is for you!
Ingredients:
- 2-3 bell peppers (whatever color pepper you desire);
Cut in half then length-wise, to create a scoop-like shape
- Ground meat of choice: I recommend ground turkey for a leaner, higher protein choice
- Lite, Mexican blend cheese
- Pickled Jalapeno slices,optional
- Cherry tomatoes, halved
- Red onion, diced
- Guacamole; a small wholly-guacamole cup works great!
- Lite sour cream; for less calories and fat I suggest opting for plain, nonfat greek yogurt
To make:
- Preheat over to 400°
- Prepare your ground meat & season with a low-sodium taco seasoning. (chili powder, cumin & garlic salt works great as well!)
- Line a baking sheet with foil and lay your peppers out
- Top peppers with cooked meat
- Top meat with cheese and cheese with jalapenos
- Bake for 8-10 minutes
- Top with sour cream or plain, nonfat greek yogurt & guacamole and sprinkle with cherry tomatoes & red onion.
- Enjoy!
You can also add toppings such as:
- Black olives
- Shredded lettuce
