How to make bell pepper nachos

When I am making my recipes I like to have all my ingredients ready beforehand. That way I’m cooking more efficiently and saving time. Start by washing your colorful bell peppers and cutting them in half and then in three equal parts. Each bell pepper will create 6 strips. Lay the bell pepper strips on a baking sheet in a single layer with the insides facing up.

Next stir the ground beef in a large skillet until it’s cooked through. I used the leftovers from my mealprep from the day before. Add the seasoning and water and stir the mixutre. Lastly, mix in the corn and black beans.

Spoon the mixture into the bell pepper strips and sprinkle shredded cheese on top. Put it in the oven and bake until the cheese has melted.

Serve warm with your favorite toppings like, sour cream, guacamole, salsa.

Tips for making bell pepper nachos

1. You can also make a vegan version of these bell pepper nachos. Instead of using ground beef, add quinoa

2. If you like your bell peppers soft instead of crunchy, you can place them in the oven for a few minutes before placing the mixture in the pepers.

3. Use different kind of bell peppers. Each color has a different taste and it will also look more aesthetic when serving.
