Tasty Tuesday: Nacho Ordinary Nachos

Nachos without cheese?  Sounds crazy, right? With half the fat and hundreds of calories less, I beg you to try it. You'll like it, and you'll have enough calories saved for a beer to go along with it!

Nacho Ordinary Nachos- Serves 2 comfortably 

What you'll need: 

• 1/2 pound extra lean ground beef
• 1/2 Packet of taco seasoning (I recommend McCormicks)
• 1/4 cup of water
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1/2 cup of canned black beans
• 1 jar of sliced jalepenos 
• 1/4 cup of diced tomatoes (~3 handfuls)
• Any other beans/veggies you would like
• Reduced fat tortilla chips (I recommend Snyder Yellow Corn Rounds)
• Pinch of salt
• Cooking spray
• Optional: Reduced Fat Sour Cream, Siracha

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

Brown meat in a skillet using Medium heat, drain excess liquid 

Bump heat to Medium-High and add taco seasoning, cumin, and water. 

Let simmer 5 minutes stirring often.

Once liquid has reduced by half add 1/2 cup (or more depending on your preference) of black beans.

Continue stirring until beans and meat are mixed together well.

Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.

Spray lightly with cooking spray and arrange chips (~3-4 handfuls)

Spread meat and beans mixture evenly on chips.

Add jalapenos, tomatoes, and any other veggie you would like 

Bake for 5-6 minutes. 

Caution chips will be hot. 

Top with Sour Cream and Siracha. 

Serve immediately.

This recipe can be divided in half for one or double to serve more!

Enjoy!
