Amazing Sweet Pepper Nachos Recipe

Peppers happen to be one of my favourite veggies, and the mini-sweet variety is delicious. So I ran across this sweet pepper nachos recipe on Pinterest and decided to do my own take on it.

You could easily make a different substitution to this recipe to make it your own!

The most tedious part of this sweet pepper nachos recipe is slicing and removing the seeds from the peppers. But trust me, this recipe is well worth the effort!

I seasoned my ground turkey with the taco seasoning I buy from Costco, but any taco seasoning will do! I added salsa for some more veggies and a little extra kick of flavour, but you could easily omit the salsa or use Rotel.
