Cheesy and delicious – quintessential sports party food. Add extra jalapenos, chopped cilantro or a drizzle of fresh lime juice if desired.

Ingredients

Low Fat Tortilla Chips: 32 baked

Reduced Fat Shredded Mexican Style Blend Cheese: ½ cup(s)

Oil Spray: 2 sprays

93% Lean Ground Beef: 6 oz

Dried Oregano: ½ tsp

Table Salt: ½ tsp, or more to taste

Canned Diced Tomatoes: ¾ cup(s), with adobe (smoky/spicy) or chipolte (hot)

Canned Refried Black Beans: ⅔ cup(s)

Spring Onions: ½ cup(s), finely sliced

Jalapeño Peppers: 2 medium, finely minced (or to taste; do not touch seeds with bare hands)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to high. Arrange tortilla chips on a nonstick baking sheet in a single layer but close together; set aside.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.

Notes

If you like things really spicy, pile on the jalapenos and consider pickled jalapenos for extra zing.
