Healthy Nachos for Football Season

[HeyJupiter 8]

I am always on the hunt to make yummy, yet Protein packed dishes for my wife since her surgery on July 1.

Tonight we are having Health Nachos before watching some football!

Ingredients:

- Ground turkey

- Spices

- Beanitos chips (4g of Protein for 12 small chips, no sugar, 140 calories)

- Fat free refried Beans

- some fresh salsa

- Fat free mexican cheese

- Fat free sour cream

I am assuming for her small portion, we are looking at at least 35 grams of protein. Plus it will be yummy!!

I am excited for her.

I think this might be a football season staple

Personally, I would rather have a small amount of full fat cheese and a small amount of full fat sour cream instead of fat free. The fat free foods are usually higher in sugar. The fat is removed and the sugar is added for flavor. I love nachos and can eat a few of them at a time. I eat a few chips topped with mostly Protein (meat or chicken), Beans, and pico . The cheese and sour cream are such a small amount that I want the real thing!

How nice of you to take such good care of your wife!

That's a good point about the cheese and sour cream. I just looked and they dont have a TON of sugar (2g for 2 tbsp in the s.cream), but she may prefer the real thing. Thanks for the tips!

Yep this is what I do cut down on the chips load it with Protein, a little real cheese, oh and no sour cream, homemade guacamole instead

I am making taco cups!

I cut a square of wonton wrapper in quarters and put in the bottom of a brownie bite pan. Spoon on some cooked lean ground beef (turkey makes me GASSSSSSY), add shredded cheddar and bake until melted. Then top with pico de gayo, sour cream and cilantro.

They are like mini quiches with only about 10 cals and 2 carbs per 1/2 wonton wrapper, they are guilt free. The wonton wrapper holds everything together and adds crunch.
