SUBSTITUTIONS FOR BELL PEPPER NACHOS:
Olive Oil: You can substitute avocado oil, butter, or ghee.
Ground Beef: We like 85/15 ground beef. Feel free to use leaner ground beef depending on what you like. ground turkey or ground chicken would work. To make vegetarian you can use cooked lentils or ground beef substitute. Read Butcher Box Reviews to see why we love them for our ground beef!
Water: Any broth or stock (broth and stock are the same) can be used instead of water in this recipe. Beef Broth, Chicken Broth, or vegetable broth all work interchangeably. I always use low or no-salt broth.
Black beans: Any type of bean can be used in this recipe. Pinto beans would work best.
Greek Yogurt: You can use low-fat sour cream instead of greek yogurt in this recipe.
Avocado: You could also substitute Homemade Guacamole.

Great recipe-Full of flavor!

This is a great healthier alternative to nachos and I love how customizable it is based off of your home’s preferences. Was a very quick meal with easy cleanup and I made sure I had enough for meal prep for the week.
This is one of my favorite go to recipes. Sometimes I substitute the black beans for sliced black olives. There hasn’t been a recipe from The Clean Eating Couple that I haven’t loved.
Yummy and easy!!
I smashed 1/2 avocado on my plate and then topped with the ingredients!!
