Bell Pepper Nachos

| BY:
Bell Pepper Nachos

Mmmmm, nachos. A classic bar snack usually served up as a mountain of fried chips smothered in cheese — and totaling upwards of at least 500 calories.

If you’re in the mood for nachos, but not all the calories, here’s a recipe for Bell Pepper Nachos.

These Bell Pepper Nachos taste like nachos (the bell pepper strips are a surprisingly good substitute for tortilla chips!) but are actually healthy.

They’re loaded with veggies, packed with lean protein, and they’re less than 300 calories a serving.

In the recipe below, you’ll top wedges of sweet bell peppers with seasoned ground turkey, fresh pico de gallo, jalapeños, and sharp cheddar cheese (yes, these bell pepper nachos still have plenty of melted cheese — we’re not monsters, you know).

If you want to add a little more flair to your bell pepper nachos, top them with diced avocado or a dollop of low-fat Greek yogurt. And, if you seriously can’t live without tortilla chips, try it on top of these baked ones.

Tip: Packaged taco seasoning mix can be substituted for Taco Seasoning Blend. Look for a mix that doesn’t have a lot of salt.

Packed with lean protein, these Bell Pepper Nachos are a healthier snack featuring lean ground turkey, sharp cheddar cheese, and a savory taco seasoning.
