Recipe Steps

Step 1
Prepare the toppings by dicing the jalapeno (and removing the seeds if desired), dicing the white onion, dicing the tomatoes, and slicing the mini bell peppers. Set them aside so they are ready to go. Once the nachos are ready the topping can go on immediately before serving.Step 2
Preheat an oven to 400 F. Prepare a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Dice the white onion and mince the garlic. Preheat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add in the oil and swirl the pan to coat. Add in the garlic and white onion. Saute for 30 seconds until fragrant. Season with ¼ tsp sea salt.Step 3
Next, add in the ground beef and break the meat into smaller pieces using a spoon. Allow the meat to cook until it is well-crumbled and almost completely browned. Add in 1 tsp of sea salt and stir well to combine. Add in the ground cumin and dark chili powder. Stir well. Set aside.Step 4
Slice the sides of the bell pepper. Cut in half any pieces that are too wide. Turn the slices shiny side down on the parchment paper so they will “cup” the taco meat.Step 5
Place the taco meat on top of the bell pepper slices. Then add the shredded cheese. Bake the sheet tray for about 6-8 minutes or until the bell peppers are cooked through but still fairly crunchy.Step 6
Top the nachos with the diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, diced white onion, and diced jalapenos. Top with the sour cream, salsa, and lastly, the chopped cilantro. Serve immediately.

Something is off here. 1 yellow pepper to make 8 servings?! Clearly not what's pictured, either in the photo of the sliced peppers or the finished product. Someone help me understand what I'm doing wrong ...
