Ingredients
- 250 grams Lean ground beef
- 1 tablespoon Low-sodium taco seasoning
- 60 milliliters Water
- 150 grams Baked tortilla chips
- 100 grams Low-fat shredded cheddar cheese
- 100 grams Diced tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons Sliced jalapeños
- 2 tablespoons Chopped green onions
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro leaves
- 60 grams Low-fat sour cream
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the lean ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks, about 5-7 minutes.
Step 2
Drain any excess fat from the skillet, then add the taco seasoning and water. Stir well to combine and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beef is coated and the mixture thickens.
Step 3
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Step 4
On a large baking sheet, spread the baked tortilla chips evenly. Top the chips with the seasoned beef mixture, followed by the shredded low-fat cheddar cheese.
Step 5
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Step 6
Remove the nachos from the oven and top them with diced tomatoes, sliced jalapeños, chopped green onions, and fresh cilantro leaves.
Step 7
Season with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.
Step 8
Serve the nachos hot, with low-fat sour cream on the side for dipping or drizzling.
