Rainbow Nacho Boats 🌶

INGREDIENTS:

Olive oil spray
1 lb (450g) 93% lean ground meat (turkey, chicken, beef). You could also use shredded chicken!
Taco seasoning of your choice.
1/4 cup tomato sauce
1/4 cup chicken broth
21 mini rainbow peppers, halved and seeded (about 13 oz seeded)
1 cup sharp shredded Cheddar cheese (optional)
2 tbsp light sour cream, thinned with 1 tbsp water (optional)
2 tbsp sliced black olives (optional)
1 jalapeno, sliced thin (optional)
Chopped cilantro, for garnish

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking tray with parchment or aluminum foil. Lightly spray with oil.
Spray oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat.
Add taco seasoning. Cook the meat for 4 to 5 minutes until it is completely cooked through. Add 1/4 cup of tomato sauce and chicken broth, mix well, and simmer on medium for about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
Meanwhile, arrange mini peppers in a single layer, cut-side up, close together.
Fill each pepper half with your meat mixture, then top with shredded cheese and jalapeno slices if using.
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until the cheese is melted.
Remove from the oven and top with black olives, dollops of thinned sour cream, and chopped cilantro. Serve immediately.

Enjoy!
