Description

Experience the vibrant flavors and textures of these bell pepper nachos, a delightful twist on a classic favorite. Imagine crisp, sweet bell pepper strips serving as the base for a medley of savory toppings. Each bite offers a satisfying crunch from the peppers, perfectly balanced by the rich, seasoned taco meat.

The beauty of these nachos lies in their simplicity and versatility. Preparing them is a breeze: simply slice the bell peppers into sturdy strips, creating the perfect vessels for all your favorite taco ingredients. A quick bake in the oven transforms the peppers into tender-crisp platforms, while the blanket of melted cheese becomes a bubbly, golden delight.

But the real magic happens when you load them up with your choice of toppings. Diced white onion provides a sharp, pungent counterpoint to the richness of the meat and cheese. Shredded lettuce offers a cool, refreshing crunch.

Diced tomatoes burst with juicy sweetness, while finely diced jalapeños add a welcome kick of heat. A dollop of creamy sour cream and a sprinkle of fresh, chopped cilantro bring a final flourish of flavor and aroma. Consider adding a generous scoop of guacamole for extra richness and healthy fats, elevating the dish to new heights of deliciousness.

These bell pepper nachos are a wonderful way to enjoy the flavors of a traditional plate of nachos. The bell peppers offer a lighter, fresher alternative to tortilla chips, while still providing a satisfying crunch and plenty of flavor. Feel free to customize your nachos with your preferred toppings and cheese varieties to create a truly personalized dish.

Whether you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, a crowd-pleasing appetizer for a party, or a fun and flavorful snack, these bell pepper nachos are sure to be a hit.

Instructions

    1.
    Dice the jalapeno (remove seeds if desired), white onion, and tomatoes. Slice the mini bell peppers. Set aside for easy assembly once the nachos are ready.
    2.
    Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Dice the white onion and mince the garlic. Preheat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil and swirl to coat. Sauté garlic and onion for 30 seconds until fragrant. Season with ¼ tsp sea salt.
    3.
    Add ground beef to the skillet and break it into smaller pieces with a spoon. Cook until well-crumbled and almost completely browned. Add 1 tsp sea salt, ground cumin, and dark chili powder. Stir well to combine and set aside.
    4.
    Slice the sides off the bell peppers to create flat strips. Cut any pieces that are too wide in half. Turn the slices shiny side down on the parchment paper, creating cups for the taco meat.
    5.
    Place the taco meat on top of the bell pepper slices. Add shredded cheese. Bake for 6-8 minutes, or until the bell peppers are cooked through but still fairly crunchy, and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
    6.
    Top the nachos with diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, diced white onion, and diced jalapenos. Add sour cream, salsa, and chopped cilantro. Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
