Hi friends! 🤗 I’m sharing one of my all time favorite recipes with you today! The inspo came from one of my favorite bloggers – Fit Foodie Finds – she rocks and her recipes do too! Like always I added my own twist and can’t wait for you all to try it!
If you’re anything like me you love nachos, but the pile of greasy chips often prevents you from choosing it while your out to eat or at home. Well gone are those days! All you need is 7 ingredients, some spices and one pan to roast up this fiery dish!
- Cauliflower
- Ground Turkey
- Jalapeno
- Green Onion
- Tomato
- Pinto Beans
- Cheddar Cheese
Hit up the grocery store and grab these ingredients because things are about to get real in the kitchen!
I know what you’re thinking, there’s no way cauliflower tastes like chips, and… you’re right. But in my opinion they make a pretty darn good substitute. I definitely don’t pick the cauliflower up like I do a chip, but the toppings are the same (if not better) and the cauliflower is very filling.
One of the best parts about this recipe is that it only requires one pan (maybe two, if you have to cook your ground turkey). Talk about easy clean up!
You can add or substitute any of your favorite ingredients, like:
- Black beans instead of pinto
- Shredded chicken instead of ground turkey
- Cilantro or red onion instead of green onion (or in addition to)
Do it up the way you like it! I always add plain greek yogurt, sriracha and avocado to top mine off! 🥑🍅🌮 I love the creaminess the greek yogurt and avocado give it.
So here’s what you need to do.
Spray a pan and slice the cauliflower lengthwise, so there are larger pieces. Once the cauliflower is on the pan, spray the cauliflower and sprinkle on seasoning salt. You’ll broil the cauliflower on high for 10 minutes – feel free to slip halfway through, but not necessary (and watch closely so it doesn’t burn).
While the cauliflower is roasting, brown your ground turkey with olive oil and all the spices (chili powder, paprika, cumin and garlic), cut/dice your toppings – green onion, tomato, jalapeno and drain/rinse the pinto beans.
Once the cauliflower is roasted, add all the toppings and place the pan back in the oven to cook for 5 minutes. Lastly, you’ll add the shredded cheddar cheese and let it melt. 😋
Then you’re good to go, top it off with your favorites – avocado, sriracha, salsa, plain greek yogurt – and chow down!!
