Third, you can make it at home.
Fourth, it is super quick.
Fifth, your options are limitless.
Please note, I have listed the brands I prefer to use, but you can use any brand you prefer. Ready? Here is what you will need...
Ingredients:
 |
| 1 Bag of Padrinos Reduced Fat Tortilla Chips |
 |
| (2) 16 ounce cans of Rosarita Fat Free Refried beans, heated |
 |
| (1) pound of Laura's Lean Ground Beef, seasoned, browned and crumbled |
 |
| 1 pkg of Kraft Reduced Fat Shredded Cheese |
 |
| 1 Bunch of Chives (aka Green Onion) finely diced |
Prefer a different meat? You could easily use shredded chicken, beef, etc.
Want to make it Vegetarian? Forget the meat and add some additional veggies (ideas: olives, tomatoes, additional types of beans, etc.)
This recipe is all about layers....
Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees.
To make clean up as easy as possible, I line my casserole dish with foil before adding any ingredients. This recipe makes approximately 10 servings.
Layer the ingredients in this order:
Chips, Beans, Meat, Cheese, Chives.
You will have something that resembles this:
Bake in the oven for approximately 20-25 minutes (the cheese will be completely melted) and Voila!
You have a healthier version of nachos that even the kids can throw together.
