SKINNYLIGHTFUL NACHOS SUPREME



Skinnylightful Nachos Supreme image

Nachos just might be the king of all party foods! People flip for them. Normally fat-laden, these layered and baked nachos use all skinny ingredients. I'm using reduced-fat ingredients such as tortilla chips, lean taco meat, cheese, and topping with my yummy, skinny ranch dressing. These are fantastic! One skinny serving has 207 calories and 5 grams fat.

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound lean ground beef, (I used 96%)
1 cup onions, (chopped)
1 tablespoon garlic, (minced)
1 (1 oz.) package taco seasonings mix, (I like Lawry's)
⅔ cup water
7 ounces reduced-fat tortilla chips, ((about 100 chips), see shopping tips)
1 (15 oz.) can black beans, (rinsed and drained)
1 (4 oz.) can Ortega fire-roasted diced green chiles, (see shopping tips)
1¼ cups salsa, (I like Pace Chunky Salsa, medium-hot)
1½ cups (6 ounces) reduced-fat cheddar cheese, (shredded)
6 tablespoons The BEST Skinny Ranch Dressing (3 ingredients)
Tabasco Sauce, (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a large pan or skillet, cook ground beef with onions and garlic until meat is browned. Stir often. Pour cooked meat into a colander in the sink and drain off all excess fat. Add meat mixture back to the pan.
  • Add taco seasoning, water, and mix well. Bring to a boil, turn the heat down to simmer, and cook for 5 minutes.
  • Place the tortilla chips evenly on a large ovenproof serving plate or baking sheet coated with a little cooking spray.
  • Top the chips with ground beef mixture. Sprinkle beans evenly over the meat. Next, spoon over beans the fire-roasted chilies, and then salsa. Sprinkle the cheese all over the top.
  • At this point, you can place it in the fridge until you're ready to serve it.
  • When ready to serve, bake in preheated 350 degrees oven for 15 - 20 minutes until the cheese is melted and the nachos are hot.
  • Dollop with ranch dressing or sour cream and add a bit more salsa. If you really like food spicy, sprinkle a bit of Tabasco sauce over the top!
  • Serve at once.
