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.
