Ditch the chips for these fajita nachos! Use mini bell peppers in place of tortilla chips and top them with all your favorite nacho fixings!

Cutest Fajita Nachos

How cute are these nachos? We’ve been all about using veggies instead of chips at Fit Foodie Finds:

  • Cauliflower nachos
  • Sweet potato nachos

We love using veggies in place of chips in order to get that extra boost of nutrition while eating our favorite foods. There’s truly nothing better than nachos and we know you’re going to love these fajita nachos!

PS: check out our Mexican Ground Beef Skillet for one of our most popular ground beef recipes.

Main Ingredients

  • Ground beef: we used ground beef for the meat, but ground chicken and turkey work too!
  • Mini bell peppers: mini bell peppers are used for the “chips.” You could also use normal bell peppers and slice them into chips.
  • Spices: we used our favorite taco spices. Heck, you could use our homemade taco seasoning if you wanted or even store-bought.
  • Onion: onion is added to the meat for some extra texture and more veg.
  • Cheese: all the cheese is sprinkled on top!

Simple Avocado Crema

We came up with a yummy avocado crema on top to really make these a delicious meal.

You’ll need to round up avocado, lime juice, Greek yogurt, water, and salt. Place everything in a food processor (or use an immersion blender) to blend it all together until it forms a thick crema.

Best blenders for smoothies

We highly recommend investing in a high-speed blender such as a Vitamix or Kitchen Ninja because it will make blending anything (not just smoothies!) so much easier.

Both the Vitamix and the Ninja are high-powered enough that you can drop all your smoothie ingredients in at once, and never have large chunks of kale (or other hearty ingredients) infiltrating your green smoothies again.

Topping Ideas

Don’t forget to have fun with your toppings. We made a delicious avocado crema, but the options are endless! You could use:

  • avocado
  • salsa
  • jalapeños
  • guacamole
  • Greek yogurt
  • more cheese
