Is it just me, or is there something about the word “nacho” that just screams comfort food? I have a recipe for you that will give you all the TLC of nachos, but with a flavorful & nutritious twist. These Bell Pepper Nacho Boats are a super simple and crowd-pleasing appetizer to bring along with you to a party, or even just to have at home. They also happen to be very low in carbs, for my Keto peeps out there.

Ingredients:

1 pound ground turkey
1 tbsp olive oil
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 tsp salt
2/3 cup salsa
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
3 Divine Flavor organic bell peppers

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil and nonstick spray.
Clean and dry the bell peppers then remove the seeds and core. Slice each pepper into 5-6 vertical pieces and set aside.
In a large stovetop pan, cook the ground turkey in olive oil on medium-high heat until it’s fully cooked through.
Let the turkey cool for a few minutes before adding in the spices and salsa. Combine well.
Add the turkey mixture into the bell pepper boats and top with cheese.
Bake for 10 minutes or until cheese is melted. *

* If you’d like your peppers to be softer, you can put the filled “boats” in a large casserole dish, add 1/4 cup of water, cover tightly with foil and bake for 10-15 minutes.

Just look at that bite-sized, cheesy perfection!

These are seriously delish just as they are, but as with with nachos you can add whatever toppings you’d like! I topped mine with some avocado, a dollop of sour cream and guacamole seasoning.

Using organic bell peppers as the base of the nachos is such a delicious and healthy way to get your nacho fix. I loved using fresh & organic Divine Flavor bell peppers.
