Pepper nachos on a baking sheet.

Whole30 Pepper Nachos

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 super flavorful, easy to make, and can be customized to your dietary needs.

Equipment

  • Baking Sheet
  • Parchment Paper

Ingredients
  

Pepper Nachos

  • 1 lb Ground Beef You can also used ground turkey or ground chicken.
  • 4 Cups Mini Peppers
  • 1 Cup Pico de Gallo
  • 1 Avocado, Cubed

Spices and Seasoning

  • 1 Lime, Juiced
  • ¼ Cup Roughly Chopped Cilantro
  • 2-3 Tablespoons Hot Sauce
  • 1 Teaspoon Salt
  • ½ Teaspoon Chili Powder
  • ½ Teaspoon Cumin
  • ¼ Teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • ¼ Teaspoon Black 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!
