Spicy Mini Bell Pepper Nachos

Appetizers & Snacks  |  Published Apr 29, 2015  |  Updated Aug 20, 2019  |  By Tawnie

For some reason I have had a little more free time during my final weeks as a Fresno State Dietetic Intern. (No complaints about that though!). With my “free time” I have been doing a little extra cooking and baking. Today after my morning workout at the Bar Method Fresno I came home and whipped up these delicious portion sized bell pepper nachos. What better appetizer to make with Cinco de Mayo quickly approaching. I honestly have never been a fan of those nachos with that goopy cheese… and the ones at restaurants are always loaded with a bunch of stuff that makes them soggy and unappetizing. I wanted to put a healthy twist on nachos by using bell peppers and using fresh ingredients 🙂
