Sports fans and nacho fans can enjoy their favorite Mexican snack with a healthier twist. Instead of chips, use sweet peppers of various colors, cut into pieces the size of traditional corn chips. The peppers are microwaved until crispy and tender, then filled with classic nacho toppings: spicy chili-flavored beef, shredded cheese, avocado guacamole, and pico de gallo salsa. The finishing touch is a drizzle of sour cream on each nacho. This appetizer is suitable for those on the keto diet or any other low-carb diet.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Cut the bell peppers into six pieces, cutting through the stems and discarding the stems and seeds. Transfer to a large microwave-safe bowl, add a splash of water, and a pinch of salt. Cover and microwave until the peppers are tender, about 4 minutes. Let cool slightly, then arrange them cut-side up on a foil-lined baking sheet.
  2. Meanwhile, in a large nonstick skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add chili powder and cumin and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the ground beef and 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring and breaking up the ground beef into small pieces, until cooked through, about 4 minutes.

  3. Preheat the oven to broil. Spoon a small amount of the beef mixture onto each nacho. Sprinkle with cheese and broil until the cheese melts, about 1 minute. Top each nacho with guacamole and pico de gallo. Thin the sour cream with a little water and drizzle over the nachos.
