I started making Whole30 Pepper Nachos a few years ago when I was trying to cut back on processed food. Once I switched over, I realized that these are actually so much better! (And better for you.) They're superflavorful, easy to make, and can be customized to your dietary needs.
1lbGround BeefYou can also used ground turkey or ground chicken.
4CupsMini Peppers
1CupPico de Gallo
1 Avocado, Cubed
Spices and Seasoning
1Lime, Juiced
¼CupRoughly Chopped Cilantro
2-3TablespoonsHot Sauce
1 TeaspoonSalt
½TeaspoonChili Powder
½TeaspoonCumin
¼TeaspoonGarlic Powder
¼TeaspoonBlack Pepper
Instructions
Start by cutting all of the mini peppers in half. Make sure to remove the seeds, and clean out the white film. Set aside while you prepare the meat.
Next, add the ground beef to a large frying pan on medium/high heat. Start breaking up the meat for a few minutes.
Then add salt, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and black pepper. Continue stirring for a few minutes. When the meat looks 90% cooked, remove from the heat and set aside while you prepare the baking sheet.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and place the peppers on until you fill the sheet. (Peppers should be inside facing up.)
Carefully spoon the meat onto the peppers, and any other topping you want baked. (Beans, rice, cheese, etc.)
Bake the peppers at 375 degrees for 10-15 minutes.
When the peppers come out of the oven, add your favorite toppings, and serve hot!
