Mini Bell Pepper Nachos

Swap out the chips with mini bell pepper halves for healthier loaded nachos for game day 🙂

If you’re looking for a healthier, low carb version of one of the best game-day eats eva…then these Mini Bell Pepper Nachos are it! Same cheesy, beefy goodness minus the chips and still just as good my friends. 

Mini peppers loaded with taco seasoned beef and cheese, broiled to perfection.  Topped with sour cream, guac, and a little cilantro.  Simple, yet so good.  

Feel free to add more toppings- black beans, pinto beans, diced tomatoes, salsa. Or keep it plane jane like I did.  I have pretty picky kids.  And shockingly they liked these too.  

And if you want to make them whole30, like I did (only five more days!!) you ditch the cheese and sour cream!
