Jump to RecipeHow 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.
