Craving Nachos? Indulge in these Amazing Guilt-Free Nachos Supreme
Ingredients
- 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) or fat-free sour cream or Greek nonfat yogurt (plain)
- Tabasco Sauce, optional
Instructions
- 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.
