Beef Nachos recipe

 

Ingredients

	32 item(s) baked low fat tortilla chips
	2 spray(s) cooking spray
	6 oz uncooked 93% lean ground beef
	1/2 tsp dried oregano
	1/2 tsp table salt, or more to taste
	3/4 cup(s) canned diced tomatoes, with adobe (smoky/spicy) or chipolte (hot)
	2/3 cup(s) canned refried black beans
	1/2 cup(s) low fat shredded cheddar cheese, or Mexican cheese blend
	1/2 cup(s) uncooked scallion(s), finely sliced
	2 medium jalapeño pepper(s), finely minced (or to taste; do not touch seeds with bare hands)

Instructions

• Preheat broiler to high. Arrange tortilla chips on a nonstick baking sheet in a single layer but close together; set aside.
  
• Coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray; heat over medium heat. Add beef and cook until browned, breaking up meat as it cooks, about 3 to 4 minutes. Season with oregano and salt; stir in tomatoes and beans. Cook until heated through, stirring occasionally, about 3 to 5 minutes.
  
• Spoon beef mixture over chips; sprinkle with cheese. Broil until cheese melts, about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Remove from broiler; sprinkle with scallions and jalapenos. Yields 4 chips with toppings per serving.
