Steps:

- Sprinkle cheese onto the ground beef mixture.
- Bake for 10 to 15 minutes until the bell peppers are desired tenderness.

Steps:
- Add cooking spray to a small skillet and cook jalapeno over medium heat until tender, just a few minutes.
- Place cooked jalapeno in a large bowl with chicken, avocado, yogurt, 1 cup cheese, chili powder and cumin. Stir to combine. Add salt and pepper if desired, to taste.
- Cover a cookie sheet with parchment paper or foil. Arrange peppers on cookie sheet. Fill each pepper with about 1-2 tablespoons chicken mixture. (Every pepper will vary as the mini peppers often come in different sizes.)
- Top with remaining cheese.
- Broil on high for 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and peppers have started to cook around the edges. They won't get soft - they stay crunchy on purpose.
- Garnish with scallions and serve with a side of salsa.

Tips:
- Choose ripe and colorful mini peppers: Look for mini peppers that are firm, smooth, and have vibrant colors like red, orange, or yellow. Avoid mini peppers that are wrinkled, bruised, or have blemishes.
- Slice the mini peppers evenly: To ensure even cooking, slice the mini peppers into uniform sizes. Cut them lengthwise or into rounds, depending on your preference.
- Use a variety of toppings: Nacho toppings are endless, so feel free to experiment with your favorites. Some popular options include shredded cheese, diced tomatoes, sliced jalapeños, sour cream, guacamole, and salsa.
- Don't overcrowd the mini peppers: When assembling the nachos, avoid piling too many toppings onto each mini pepper. This will make them difficult to eat and may cause the toppings to fall off.
- Bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly: The key to perfect mini pepper nachos is melted cheese. Bake them in a preheated oven until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly browned.
Conclusion:
Mini pepper nachos are a delicious and versatile appetizer or snack that can be customized to your liking. With their colorful appearance, portability, and endless topping possibilities, they are sure to be a hit at any gathering. Whether you're hosting a party or simply looking for a fun and easy snack, mini pepper nachos are an excellent choice that combines flavor, nutrition, and convenience. So, gather your ingredients, preheat your oven, and get ready to enjoy this delightful treat!
