Ground Turkey Taco Nachos image

Delicious and filling turkey taco nachos that everyone will love. You can top them with your favorite taco toppings such as lettuce, pico de gallo, light sour cream, or guacamole. I use pre-chopped and pre-shredded vegetables and pico de gallo from the grocery store to save preparation time on a weeknight. I like to include chopped or shredded vegetables I have on hand to boost the nutrition.

Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 teaspoons olive oil
1 ¼ pounds 99%-lean ground turkey breast
1 package taco seasoning
2 cups pico de gallo, divided
⅓ (16 ounce) package broccoli slaw
2 tablespoons chopped red bell pepper
2 tablespoons chopped yellow bell pepper
2 tablespoons chopped green bell pepper

Tips:

  • Choose the right tortillas. Fresh, sturdy tortillas are essential for good nachos. Look for tortillas that are soft and pliable, but not too thin or delicate.
  • Shred your own cheese. Pre-shredded cheese can be dry and clumpy. Shredding your own cheese ensures that it melts evenly and smoothly.
  • Don't overload the nachos. Too many toppings can make the nachos soggy and difficult to eat. Add toppings sparingly, and make sure that each bite has a good balance of flavors and textures.
  • Serve the nachos immediately. Nachos are best when they're hot and fresh. If you're making them ahead of time, reheat them in the oven before serving.
  • Get creative with your toppings. Nachos are a versatile dish that can be topped with almost anything. Be creative and experiment with different flavors and combinations.

Conclusion:

Turkey nachos are a fun and easy dish that's perfect for a party or a weeknight dinner. They're also a great way to use up leftover turkey. With a few simple tips, you can make turkey nachos that are sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give turkey nachos a try.
