Colorful Bell Pepper Nachos

Serves: 2 people 

Ingredients:
3-4 bell peppers of any color
10oz of cooked shredded or ground meat (sub for beans if vegetarian)
1/2 cup of shredded mexican-style cheese
1 tomato, diced
1/2 cup of shredded lettuce
2 green onions, sliced
Other optional toppings: salsa, guacamole, pickled jalapenos, plain greek yogurt or sour cream, etc.

Recipe:

1. Preheat the oven to 375F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Cut bell peppers into wedge-shaped "chips" and arrange on the lined baking sheet.
3. Top your "chips" with cooked meat, cheese and tomato. Place in the oven for 10-12 minutes until completely heated through.
4. Remove the nachos from the oven and top with shredded lettuce, green onion, and any other additional toppings of your choosing!

Tips:

• Season your meat or beans with a basic taco seasoning for some extra flavor!
• To brown your nachos a bit more, after they have baked for 10-12 minutes turn on the broiler and let them broil for another 2-3 minutes -- but make sure to keep an eye on them so they don't burn!
