Chili Cheese Fries Made Guilt-Free (Taco Style)
Ingredients
Ingredients for Chili:
- 1 cup onions, chopped
- 1 (1.25 pound) package 99% fat free ground turkey breast
- 1 (14.5 oz.) can diced tomatoes
- 1 (15 oz.) can black beans, rinsed and drained
- ¾ cup water
- 1 (1 ounce) package taco seasoning, I used Lawry’s
Ingredients for Fries:
- 12 ounces frozen French fries, I used Alexia 98% fat free frozen fries, see shopping tips
- ¾ cup (3 ounces) reduced-fat cheddar cheese
- ¼ cup salsa, I used Pace Medium Chunky
- ¼ cup skinny ranch dressing or fat-free sour cream for each serving
Instructions
- To Make Chili: Cook onions in microwave for 1 minute to soften. In a large, nonstick pan, brown turkey. Stir often and break up turkey into a crumble. Stir in onions, tomatoes, beans, water and taco seasonings. Bring to a boil. Turn heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes. You will only use ½ of this chili recipe (3 cups chili) for the 4 servings.
- To Bake Fries: While chili is cooking, bake the fries. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking pan with foil and coat all over with cooking spray. Spread the frozen fries evenly over the pan. Bake as directed.
- To Assemble Each Serving: Line each plate with 12-15 baked fries. Pour ¾ cup chili on top of fries. Dollop a little salsa around the top of chili. Sprinkle with 3 tablespoons cheese. Zap in microwave for 1 minute. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon skinny ranch dressing or fat-free sour cream and serve. Repeat for the 3 other servings.
