Ingredients

• 8 ounces Tortilla chips (preferably whole grain or protein-packed)
• 1 pound Lean ground turkey
• 1 cup Black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1.5 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded (reduced-fat optional)
• 1 cup Diced tomatoes (or pico de gallo)
• 0.5 cup Red onion, finely chopped
• 1 Avocado, diced
• 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt (as a substitute for sour cream)
• 1 Jalapeño, thinly sliced (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Taco seasoning (homemade or store-bought)
• 1 Lime, cut into wedges (optional for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Step 2

Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once hot, add the ground turkey and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until no longer pink (about 5-7 minutes).

Step 3

Stir in the taco seasoning and 2 tablespoons of water to coat the turkey. Cook for another 2 minutes, then remove from heat.

Step 4

Spread the tortilla chips in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 5

Top the chips with the cooked ground turkey, black beans, and shredded cheddar cheese, distributing evenly.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 7-10 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.

Step 7

Remove the nachos from the oven and top with diced tomatoes, red onion, avocado, jalapeño slices (if using), and a dollop of Greek yogurt.

Step 8

Sprinkle with fresh cilantro and serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for a zesty squeeze, if desired.
