Ingredients

  • 10 mini bell peppers halved and seeded
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup canned black beans rinsed and drained
  • 2 teaspoons minced jalapeno remove seeds and ribs if you prefer less heat
  • 2 teaspoons minced cilantro
  • 2 tablespoons light sour cream
  • 1/4 cup prepared guacamole for serving
  • 1/2 teaspoon taco seasoning

Instructions

  • Preheat the broiler. Place the pepper halves on a baking sheet lined with foil. Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the peppers.
  • Divide the beans evenly among the pepper halves, then sprinkle on the cheese.
  • Broil for 3-4 minutes or until cheese has melted.
  • Remove from oven. Drizzle the sour cream over the tops of the peppers. You can thin out your sour cream with 1/2 teaspoon of water if it's too thick to drizzle.
  • Sprinkle the cilantro and jalapeno over the tops of the peppers.
  • Serve immediately, with guacamole for dipping.

Notes

  • Use a preheated broiler.
  • If you prefer less heat, remove the ribs and seeds from the jalapenos.
  • If your sour cream is too thick to drizzle, you can thin out your sour cream with 1/2 teaspoon of water.
  • Don’t cut the bell pepper nachos too thin. You want them to be able to hold a good amount of toppings and dip nicely without bending.
  • You can use normal sized or mini bell peppers. Just cut into similar sizes.
  • Ideally, avoid pre-shredded cheese, shred your own, it melts much better.
  • If you don't need them vegetarian, you can top with cooked ground beef/chicken/turkey. Add some taco seasoning to the ground meat.
  • You can make this vegan by omitting the cheese and sour cream. Use vegan-friendly cheese instead
