Beef Macho Nachos
Nutritious nachos? Don’t’ give up on eating peppers as the red, yellow and orange have a milder flavor. My friend, Rory, was over and doesn’t usually eat peppers; he loved the nachos and begged me to heat some more up. Both the beef or chicken were so good, I included both recipes. Gluten-free
