Hi Everyone! A few weeks ago I decided to start the F-Factor diet and have been making a ton of healthy meals! I made these Chip-less nachos after seeing them on Skinny Taste. I found that as delicious as these were, I didn’t have the time or patience to measure out all the seasonings and it was a bit too in depth for me. I decided to change up the recipe and do a few things differently and they came out SO DELICIOUS! I wanted to share this recipe with you guys since a lot of you asked me to on Instagram. I would also like to point out that I am a novice cook and not very good, so please take my advice and directions with a grain of salt…see what I did there ;)!
Ingredients:
- Lean ground turkey (I usually get the Trader Joe’s 99.9% lean ground turkey)
- Olive Oil cooking spray
- 1/4 white onion
- Trader Joe’s Taco Seasoning (or any type of taco seasoning)
- Mini Bell Peppers (sliced in half with top & seeds removed…I usually buy two small bags of them at the grocery store)
- 1 cup-ish Low fat Mexican cheddar cheese (use as much or as little cheese as you like)
- Parsley
Directions:
- Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees
- clean and slice the mini bell peppers in half sideways so they lay flat. Place them on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper
- Dice 1/4 of a white onion
- Heat a pan to medium and spray the olive oil cooking spray and sauté the onion for 2-3 minutes
- Add the ground turkey and taco seasoning (follow the directions on the package as to how to add the seasoning) until the turkey is cooked
- Disperse the cooked ground turkey onto the sliced mini bell peppers evenly across the pan
- Sprinkle the cheese on top of the turkey and mini bell peppers and add any toppings of your choice! Some yummy options include jalepenos or black olives
- Pop these babies into the oven and bake for 8 minutes or until the cheese has melted
- While the nachos cook, chop up the fresh parsley. You don’t need much, maybe a sprig or two
- Take the nachos out of the oven and garnish with the parsley
- EAT!
I usually serve a side of guac and salsa to go along with these nachos. They totally fulfill my mexican craving without the guilt and are super easy to make! I hope you guys enjoy! Let me know if you guys make them!
