Bell Pepper Nachos

Ingredients

• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1lb ground turkey
• 1/2 onion, diced
• 1 can black beans, drained
• 1 tbsp chili powder
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1/2 tsp coriander
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• hot sauce

• 6 red, orange, or yellow bell peppers
• 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded 
• 2 tomato, diced
• 1 English cucumber, diced
• 3 cups lettuce, shredded

In a large skillet, heat oil. Add ground turkey, crumble and brown over medium-high heat. Add the onions. Sautee until translucent. Reduce heat to low. Add the beans, chili powder, cumin, coriander, and garlic powder. Add hot sauce to taste. Season liberally with salt. Add ketchup. 

Preheat oven to 400F. Line two pans with aluminum foil. Spray with non-stick spray. 

Cut the peppers into large triangles. Scatter the peppers skin-side-down across the sheet pans. Season with salt. Sprinkle the meat mixture over the peppers. Top with cheese. Bake for 5 minutes.

Top the nachos with tomatoes, cucumber, lettuce and guacamole. Finish with a squeeze of lime.

Notes from the Chef:

-Be careful not to over cook the peppers - you want plenty of crunch for these nachos
