Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces Tortilla chips
- 1 pound Lean ground turkey
- 1 can (15 ounces), drained and rinsed Black beans
- 1.5 cups, shredded Sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Salsa
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 cup Diced tomatoes
- 1 medium, diced Avocado
- 2 stalks, sliced Green onions
- 0.25 cup, chopped Cilantro
- 1 medium, cut into wedges Lime
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and allow it to warm up. Add the ground turkey and cook until browned, about 7-10 minutes, breaking it up with a spatula.
Once the turkey is nearly cooked, add the cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir to evenly coat the meat with the spices.
Mix in the drained and rinsed black beans, and cook for an additional 2 minutes until everything is well combined and heated through.
On a large baking sheet or oven-safe platter, spread out the tortilla chips in an even layer.
Spoon the turkey and bean mixture evenly over the tortilla chips.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese generously over the top of the meat and beans.
Place the nachos in the oven and bake for 10 minutes or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly.
Top the nachos with dollops of Greek yogurt, followed by a layer of salsa.
Scatter the diced tomatoes and avocado over the top.
Garnish with sliced green onions and chopped cilantro.
Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the nachos.
