MEAL PLAN APPROVED NACHOS!

This is the perfect meal to make when you are staying in on a weekend night and watching movies (or if you just are craving nachos)! Making your own tortilla chips is a much healthier option than a bag of Tostitos because it has significantly less oil, sodium, and preservatives. And, I think they taste even better too :)

INGREDIENTS: (feel free to add or subtract any ingredients, have fun with it!)

• ​1-1.5 lbs of ground chicken or ground turkey
• 1 can of fiesta corn
• 1 can of black beans
• Frozen mixed peppers (if short on time) or 1-3 peppers of your choice diced
• 1 bag of whole wheat tortillas
• 1 bag of low-fat or skim shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 tomato
• guacamole, salsa, or original Greek yogurt (a great sub for sour cream) for dipping

RECIPE:

1. ​​In crockpot- add ground meat of choice with seasoning, 1/2-1 can of black beans, 1/2-1 can of corn & some frozen or fresh mixed peppers
2. Cook on high for 3-3.5 hours or low for 6-6.5 hours

AFTER CROCKPOT IS DONE--

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees & layer a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray oil (you may need more than 1 baking sheet)
2. ​Lay 4-6 tortillas on top of one another and cut into triangles/wedges (you should cut it so that it makes 4-6 triangles)
3. Peel apart tortillas from one another and place on baking sheet (try not to place wedges on top of each other)
4. Bake for 8-12 minutes or until golden and firm to touch
5. Dice tomatoes into small squares
6. In some sort of baking dish- place one layer of chips, add some of crockpot mix on top (you don't want to overdo it so that you won't be able to pick up the chip easily or make it soggy), sprinkle some diced tomatoes, add mozzarella cheese, REPEAT layers (I usually have 3 layers)
7. Bake in oven for 5-6 min (or until cheese melts)
