Ok, so I'm not a huge football fan and the only reason I even know that today is the Super Bowl is my facebook feed. BUT I do like the idea of getting together with friends and enjoying delicious snack foods together. My work asked me to submit a healthy Super Bowl recipe for their blog and I decided to go with a loaded nachos recipe. I found the recipe on thepioneerwoman.com and just made some simple substitutions to make it more healthy.
Healthy Loaded Nachos
Adapted from Thepioneerwoman.com
Ingredients
• 1.5 lbs Lean Ground Turkey
• ½ tsp Chili Powder
• ½ tsp Paprika
• ½ tsp Cumin
• ½ tsp Crushed Red Pepper
• ½ tsp Salt
• ½ tsp Ground pepper
• 1 Can Low Sodium Pinto or Chili Beans
• ½ Cup Hot Water
• Tortilla Chips
• 2 Cups Low Fat Mexican Mix Cheese
• Pico de Gallo Salsa (or favorite salsa) to taste
• 1 Whole Jalapeno, Diced Finely
• 1 Whole Avocado, Pitted and Diced
• Low Fat Sour Cream (optional)
Instructions
Cook the lean ground turkey in a skillet with olive oil. Once it is browned, add the chili powder, paprika,
cumin, crushed red pepper, salt, and ground pepper. Stir to combine. Add the beans and hot water and
mix. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 5 minutes.
To build the nachos, place a layer of tortilla chips on a platter or plate. Top with a layer of the turkey/bean
mixture, then top with 1/3 of the cheese. Repeat this process for two more layers. Place in the oven at 325
degrees if your platter is oven-safe or microwave for 45 seconds or until cheese is melted.
While it is still hot, sprinkle on the salsa, avocado and jalapeno. Add dollops of low fat sour cream if you
would like.
Serve while warm and Enjoy!
